³ and complained, “Moses, we'd be better off if we had died along with the others in front of the Lord's sacred tent.^{[a] 4} You brought us into this desert, and now we and our livestock are going to die! ⁵ Egypt was better than this horrible place. At least there we had grain and figs and grapevines and pomegranates.^[b] But now we don't even have any water.”
