Numbers 20:2 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 20:2

And there was no water for the congregation
Which was so ordered, for the trial of this new generation, to see whether they would behave any better than their fathers had done in a like circumstance, the first year they came out of Egypt, ( Exodus 17:1-8 )

and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron;
just as their fathers had done before them, being of the like temper and disposition.

Numbers 20:2 In-Context

1 And the whole multitude of ye childern of Israel came in to the deserte of Sin in the first moneth and the people dwelt at cades. And there dyed Mir Iam and was buried there.

2 More ouer there was no water for the multitude wherfore they gathered the selues together agest Moses and agest Aaron.

3 And the people chode with Moses and spake sayenge: wold God that we had perysshed when oure brethern perysshed before ye Lorde.

4 Why haue ye brought the congregacion of the Lorde vnto this wildernesse that both we and oure catell shulde dye here?

5 Wherfore brought ye us out of Egipte to brynge us into this vngracious place which is no place of seed nor of fygges nor vynes nor of pomgranates nether is there any water to drynke?
