Exodus 15:22-24

Living Bible

²² Then Moses led the people of Israel on from the Red Sea, and they moved out into the wilderness of Shur and were there three days without water. ²³ Arriving at Marah, they couldn’t drink the water because it was bitter (that is why the place was called Marah, meaning “bitter”).

²⁴ Then the people turned against Moses. “Must we die of thirst?” they demanded.
