The people were very thirsty. They complained to Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us from Egypt? Do you want us, our kids, and our animals to die with no water?”
But the people thirsted for water there, and they grumbled against Moses: “Why have you brought us out of Egypt—to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”
KJV
