Turning bitter water sweet
22 Then Moses had Israel leave the Reed Sea[a] and go out into the Shur desert. They traveled for three days in the desert and found no water. 23 When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink Marah’s water because it was bitter. That’s why it was called Marah.[b] 24 The people complained against Moses, “What will we drink?”
