Exodus 15:23-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
23 they arrived at Marah, where they could not drink its water, because it was too bitter. Hence this place was called Marah. 24 As the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?” 25 he cried out to the Lord, who pointed out to him a piece of wood. When he threw it into the water, the water became fresh.(A)
It was here that God, in making statutes and ordinances for them, put them to the test.
