2 Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 The people quarreled with Moses and said, “Would that we had died when our kindred died before the LORD!

4 Why have you brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness for us and our livestock to die here?

5 Why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to bring us to this wretched place? It is no place for grain, or figs, or vines, or pomegranates; and there is no water to drink.”
