11 ^rThey said to Moses, ^s“Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt?

3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people ^agrumbled against Moses and said, ^b“Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?”

20 but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have ^wrejected the Lord who is among you and have wept before him, saying, “Why did we come out of Egypt?”’”

3 ^uWhy is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and ^vour little ones will become a prey. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”

4 ^tWhy have you brought the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we should die here, both we and our cattle? 5 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? ^uIt is no place for grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.”

5 And ^athe people spoke against God and against Moses, ^b“Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and ^cwe loathe this worthless food.”
