21 And Miriam anfwered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horie and his rider hath he thrown into the fea.

21 So Mofes brought Ifrael from the Red-fea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur: and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.

23 And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter therefore the name of it was That is, called u Marah.

3 And the people thirfted there for water and the people murmured against Mofes, and faid,Wherefore is this that thou halt brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us, and our children, and our cattel with thirst?

19 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counfel, and God fhall be with thee: be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayeft bring the caufes unto God:
