Exodus 15:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ Then they came to Marah, where there was water. But they could not drink it because it was too bitter. That is why the place was named Marah.^{[a] 24} The people grumbled to Moses. They asked, “What will we drink?”

²⁵ Moses cried out to the Lord. So the Lord showed him a tree. Moses threw the tree into the water. And the water became good to drink.

There the Lord gave the people a rule and a law to live by. There he also tested their loyalty to him.
