Numbers 20:1 · Masoretic Text (WLC)
AMPLIFIED · 1 of 3
Then the Israelites, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month [in the fortieth year after leaving Egypt]. And the people lived in Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried there.
Miriam's death and the water running out are reported back to back, in consecutive verses, without the text ever stating a causal link between them. Whatever the connection, the text lets the two facts sit side by side rather than explaining one by the other.
