Exodus 15:22-27
Yahweh Sweetens the Water
22aThen Moses 1had Israel set out from the 2Red Sea, and they went out into bthe wilderness of cShur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23And they came to aMarah, but they could not drink the waters 1of Marah, for they were 2bitter; therefore it was named 3Marah. 24So the people agrumbled at Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25Then he acried out to Yahweh, and Yahweh showed him ba tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He cset for them a statute and a judgment, and there He dtested them. 26And He said, “aIf you will earnestly listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear bto His commandments, and keep all His statutes, cI will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, dYahweh, am your healer.”
27Then they came to aElim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters.
