Numbers 20:3 in Context — Numbers 20

1 E chegaram os filhos de Israel, toda a congregação, ao deserto de Zim, no mês primeiro, e assentou o povo em Cades; e ali morreu Miriã, e foi ali sepultada.

2 E como não havia água para a congregação, juntaram-se contra Moisés e Arão.

3 E brigou o povo com Moisés, e falaram dizendo: Antes que nós tivéssemos morrido quando pereceram nossos irmãos diante do SENHOR!

4 E por que fizeste vir a congregação do SENHOR a este deserto, para que morramos aqui nós e nossos animais?

5 E por que nos fizeste subir do Egito, para trazer-nos a este mal lugar? Não é lugar de sementeira, de figueiras, de vinhas, nem romãs: nem ainda de água para beber.
