Numbers 20:1-6 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2. And there was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3. And the people strove with Moses, and spake, saying, Would that we had died when our brethren died before Jehovah!

4. And why have ye brought the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts?

5. And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

6. And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them.
