Here I am, standing by the spring.<n id="1" /> When<n id="2" /> the young woman goes out to draw water, I&#8217;ll say, &#8220;Give me a little water to drink from your jug.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">That day Isaac&#8217;s servants came and told him about the well they had dug. &#8220;We&#8217;ve found water,&#8221; they reported.<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">The servant in charge<n id="1" /> brought the men into Joseph&#8217;s house. He gave them water, and they washed their feet. Then he gave food to their donkeys.

When the fish<n id="1" /> that were in the Nile died, the Nile began<n id="2" /> to stink, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood<n id="3" /> everywhere in the land of Egypt!

All the Egyptians dug around the Nile for water to drink,<n id="1" /> because they could not drink the water of the Nile.p>

Then they came to Marah,<n id="1" /> but they were not able to drink<n id="2" /> the waters of Marah, because<n id="3" /> they were bitter.<n id="4" /> (That is<n id="5" /> why its name was<n id="6" /> Marah.)p>

<p class="bodytext">Then they came to Elim,<n id="1" /> where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the water.p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">The whole community<n id="2" /> of the Israelites traveled on their journey<n id="3" /> from the Desert of Sin according to the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s instruction, and they pitched camp in Rephidim.<n id="4" /> Now<n id="5" /> there was no water for the people to drink.<n id="6" />

&#8220;You are also to make a large bronze<n id="1" /> basin with a bronze stand<n id="2" /> for washing. You are to put it between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it,<n id="3" />

When they enter<n id="1" /> the tent of meeting, they must wash with<n id="2" /> water so that they do not die.<n id="3" /> Also, when they approach<n id="4" /> the altar to minister by burning incense<n id="5" /> as an offering made by fire<n id="6" /> to the <sc>Lordsc>,

Any food that may be eaten which becomes soaked with water<n id="1" /> will become unclean. Anything drinkable<n id="2" /> in any such vessel will become unclean.<n id="3" />

The priest will then take holy water<n id="1" /> in a pottery jar, and take some<n id="2" /> of the dust<n id="3" /> that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water.

Then Moses raised his hand, and struck the rock twice with his staff. And water came out abundantly. So the community drank, and their beasts drank too.p>

And the people spoke against God and against Moses, &#8220;Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness, for there is no bread or water, and we<n id="1" /> detest this worthless<n id="2" /> food.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">And from there they traveled<n id="1" /> to Beer;<n id="2" /> that is the well where the <sc>Lordsc> spoke to Moses, &#8220;Gather the people and I will give them water.&#8221;

They traveled from Marah and came to Elim; in Elim there are twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees, so they camped there.p>

For the <sc>Lordsc> your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of brooks,<n id="1" /> springs, and fountains flowing forth in valleys and hills,

Instead, the land you are crossing the Jordan to occupy<n id="1" /> is one of hills and valleys, a land that drinks in water from the rains,<n id="2" />
