Bamidbar 20:3-5

Orthodox Jewish Bible

³ And the people contended with Moshe, and spoke, saying, If only we had died when our brethren died before Hashem!

⁴ And why have ye brought up the Kahal Hashem into this midbar, that we and our livestock should die here?

⁵ And why have ye made us to come up out of Mitzrayim, to bring us in unto this evil place? It is no place of zera (grain), or of te’enah (fig), or of gefen (grapevine), or of pomegranates; neither is there any mayim to drink.
