Shemot 17:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

² Wherefore the people did chide (quarrel, become dissatisfied with) Moshe, and said, Give us mayim that we may drink. And Moshe said unto them, Why chide ye with me? Why do ye put Hashem to the test?

³ And HaAm thirsted there for mayim; and the people murmured against Moshe, and said, Why is this that thou hast brought us up out of Mitzrayim, to kill me and my banim and my livestock with tzama (thirst)?

⁴ And Moshe cried unto Hashem, saying, What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.
