They came to Marah, but they could not drink its water, because it was bitter. Therefore its name was called Marah. The people grumbled against Moses, saying, “ What shall we drink? ” So Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, which he threw into the water, and the waters became sweet.
