The Song of Miriam
20 Then Miriam athe prophetess, bthe sister of Aaron, ctook the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her dwith timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam aanswered them:
b“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”
b“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!”
Bitter Waters Made Sweet
22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of aShur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no bwater.
23 Now when they came to aMarah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called1 Marah.
24 And the people acomplained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. aWhen he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He bmade a statute and an ordinance for them, and there cHe tested them,
26 and said, a“If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the bdiseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord cwho heals you.”
27 aThen they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.
