Numbers 20:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ And the people contended with Moses, and said, Would that we had died when our brethren died [in the plague] before the Lord!^(A)

⁴ And why have you brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we should die here, we and our livestock?

⁵ And why have you made us come up out of Egypt to bring us into this evil place? It is no place of grain or of figs or of vines or of pomegranates. And there is no water to drink.
