Exodus 17:1-3

Living Bible

17 Now, at God’s command, the people of Israel left the Sihn Desert, going by easy stages to Rephidim. But upon arrival, there was no water!

² So once more the people growled and complained to Moses. “Give us water!” they wailed.

“Quiet!” Moses commanded. “Are you trying to test God’s patience with you?”

³ But, tormented by thirst, they cried out, “Why did you ever take us out of Egypt? Why did you bring us here to die, with our children and cattle too?”
