22. Moses led the Israelites away from the Red Sea and into the Shur desert. They traveled for three days in the desert. They could not find any water.
|
22. So Moses H4872 brought H5265 H853 Israel H3478 from the Red sea H4480 H3220 H5488 , and they went out H3318 into H413 the wilderness H4057 of Shur H7793 ; and they went H1980 three H7969 days H3117 in the wilderness H4057 , and found H4672 no H3808 water H4325 .

23. And when they came H935 to Marah H4785 , they could H3201 not H3808 drink H8354 of the waters H4325 of Marah H4480 H4785 , for H3588 they H1992 were bitter H4751 : therefore H5921 H3651 the name H8034 of it was called H7121 Marah H4785 .
|
|
24. The people began complaining to Moses. They said, "Now what will we drink?"
|
24. And the people H5971 murmured H3885 against H5921 Moses H4872 , saying H559 , What H4100 shall we drink H8354 ?
|
|
25. So Moses called to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a large piece of wood. When Moses put the wood in the water, the water became good to drink. There the Lord put in place a law and a command for him and tested him to see if he would obey.
|

And he cried H6817 unto H413 the LORD H3068 ; and the LORD H3068 showed H3384 him a tree H6086 , which when he had cast H7993 into H413 the waters H4325 , the waters H4325 were made sweet H4985 : there H8033 he made H7760 for them a statute H2706 and an ordinance H4941 , and there H8033 he proved H5254 them,
|
|
26. The Lord said to him, "I am the Lord your God. If you listen to me and do what I say is right, and if you obey all my commands and laws, then I will not give you any of the sicknesses that I gave the Egyptians. I am the Lord who heals you."
|
26. And said H559 , If H518 thou wilt diligently hearken H8085 H8085 to the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 thy God H430 , and wilt do H6213 that which is right H3477 in his sight H5869 , and wilt give ear H238 to his commandments H4687 , and keep H8104 all H3605 his statutes H2706 , I will put H7760 none H3808 H3605 of these diseases H4245 upon H5921 thee, which H834 I have brought H7760 upon the Egyptians H4714 : for H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 that healeth H7495 thee.
