1. And the children of Israel, the whole assembly, came into the wilderness of Zin, in the first month; and the people abode at Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
2. And there was no water for the assembly, and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3. And the people contended with Moses, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah!
4. And why have ye brought the congregation of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?
