2. Mosebok 17,1

Hele menigheten av israelittene dro videre i etapper fra ørkenen Sin, etter Herrens befaling, og slo leir ved Rephidim, hvor det ikke var vann for folket å drikke.

2 Folket klandret Moses og krevde: «Gi oss vann å drikke.» Moses svarte: «Hvorfor klandrer dere meg? Hvorfor setter dere Herren på prøve?»

3 Folket, som tørstet etter vann, klaget mot Moses og sa: «Hvorfor førte du oss opp fra Egypt, for å drepe oss og våre barn og husdyr med tørst?»

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
