^(C1)Then Moses ^(F1)led Israel from the ^(F2)Red Sea, and they went out into ^(C2)the wilderness of ^(C3)Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.

When they came to ^(C1)Marah, they could not drink the waters ^(F1)of Marah, because they were ^(F2)bitter; for that reason it was named ^(F3)Marah.

So the people ^(C1)grumbled at Moses, saying, "What are we to drink?"

Then he ^(C1)cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him ^(C2)a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He ^(C3)made for them a statute and regulation, and there He ^(C4)tested them.
