2 Then the entire assembly of the Israelites began to murmur against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.+ 3 The Israelites kept saying to them: “If only we had died by Jehovah’s hand in the land of Egypt while we were sitting by the pots of meat,+ while we were eating bread to satisfaction. Now you have brought us out into this wilderness to put this whole congregation to death by famine.”+

3 But the people were very thirsty for water there, and they kept murmuring against Moses+ and saying: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to kill us and our sons and our livestock with thirst?”

6 Now these things became examples for us, in order for us not to desire injurious things, as they desired them.+

10 Neither be murmurers, as some of them murmured,+ only to perish by the destroyer.+
