Easy-to-Read Version

Israel Complains, So God Sends Food

16 Then all the Israelites left Elim. They reached the western Sinai desert,^[a] between Elim and Mount Sinai, on the 15th day of the second month^[b] after leaving Egypt. ² Then the whole community of Israelites began complaining again. They complained to Moses and Aaron in the desert. ³ They said, “It would have been better if the Lord had just killed us in the land of Egypt. At least there we had plenty to eat. We had all the food we needed. But now you have brought us out here into this desert to make us all die from hunger.”
