Yahweh Provides Water At Marah

(That is why its name was Marah.) 24 So the people murmured against Moses, saying, "What can we drink?" 25 He cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When Moses threw it into the water, the water became safe to drink. There the Lord made for them a binding ordinance, and there he tested them.
