Exodus 15:17-27

17 "1You will bring them and 2plant them in 3the mountain of Your inheritance, 4The place, O LORD, which You have made for Your dwelling, 5The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.
18 "6The LORD shall reign forever and ever."
19 7For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on 8dry land through the midst of the sea.
20 9Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the 10timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with 11dancing.
21 Miriam answered them, "12Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; The horse and his rider He has hurled into the sea."

The LORD Provides Water

22 13Then Moses led Israel from the Red * Sea, and they went out into 14the wilderness of 15Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
23 When they came to 16Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore * it was named * Marah.
24 So the people 17grumbled at Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
25 Then he 18cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him 19a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He 20made for them a statute and regulation, and there He 21tested them.
26 And He said, "22If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear 23to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, 24I will put none * of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, 25the LORD, am your healer."
27 Then they came to 26Elim where there were twelve * springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters.
