Psalm 105:37-45

New International Version

³⁷He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,^(A)
and from among their tribes no one faltered.
³⁸Egypt was glad when they left,
because dread of Israel^(B) had fallen on them.

³⁹He spread out a cloud^(C) as a covering,
    and a fire to give light at night.^(D)
⁴⁰They asked,^(E) and he brought them quail;^(F)
    he fed them well with the bread of heaven.^(G)
⁴¹He opened the rock,^(H) and water gushed out;
    it flowed like a river in the desert.

⁴²For he remembered his holy promise^(I)
    given to his servant Abraham.
⁴³He brought out his people with rejoicing,^(J)
    his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
⁴⁴he gave them the lands of the nations,^(K)
    and they fell heir to what others had toiled^(L) for—
⁴⁵that they might keep his precepts
    and observe his laws.^(M)

The Waters of Marah and Elim

²²Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert^(A) of Shur.^(B) For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water.^(C) ²³When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter. (That is why the place is called Marah.^[a]^(D)) ²⁴So the people grumbled^(E) against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”^(F)

²⁵Then Moses cried out^(G) to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw^(H) it into the water, and the water became fit to drink.

There the Lord issued a ruling and instruction for them and put them to the test.^(I) ²⁶He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep^(J) all his decrees,^(K) I will not bring on you any of the diseases^(L) I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals^(M) you.”

²⁷Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped^(N) there near the water.

Final Warnings

13 This will be my third visit to you.^(A) “Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.”^[a]^(B) ²I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent:^(C) On my return I will not spare^(D) those who sinned earlier^(E) or any of the others, ³since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me.^(F) He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. ⁴For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness,^(G) yet he lives by God’s power.^(H) Likewise, we are weak^(I) in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him^(J) in our dealing with you.
