← Numbers 20:4	Numbers 20:5 (KJV)	Numbers 20:6 →
And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?	And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it [is] no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is] there any water to drink.	And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
