以后梅瑟命以色列人由红海起营,往叔尔旷野去;他们在旷野里走了三天,没有找到水。
23theyarrivedatMarah,wheretheycouldnotdrinkthewater,becauseitwastoobitter.HencethisplacewascalledMarah.
随后,到了玛辣,但不能喝玛辣的水,因为水苦;因此称那地为玛辣。

那时百姓抱怨梅瑟说:"我们喝什么呢?"

梅瑟遂呼号上主,上主便指给他一块木头;他把木头扔在水里,水就变成甜水。上主在那里给百姓立定了法律和典章,也在那里试探了他们。

上主说:"你若诚心听从上主你天主的话,行他眼中视为正义的事,服从他的命令,遵守他的一切法律,我决不把加于埃及人的灾殃,加于你们,因为我是医治你的上主。"

以后他们到了厄林,那里有十二股水泉,七十棵棕树。他们便在那里靠近水边安了营。
