“(AQ)The Lord shall reign forever and ever.”
19 (AR)For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on (AS)dry land through the midst of the sea.
20 (AT)Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took the (AU)timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with (m)(AV)dancing.
21 Miriam answered them,
The Lord Provides Water
22 (AX)Then Moses (o)led Israel from the (p)Red Sea, and they went out into (AY)the wilderness of (AZ)Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
23 When they came to (BA)Marah, they could not drink the waters (q)of Marah, for they were (r)bitter; therefore it was named (s)Marah.
24 So the people (BB)grumbled at Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
25 Then he (BC)cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him (BD)a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet.There He (BE)made for them a statute and regulation, and there He (BF)tested them.
26 And He said, “(BG)If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear (BH)to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, (BI)I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, (BJ)the Lord, am your healer.”
