读经：出十五22~27
Scripture Reading: Exo. 15:22-27 (Recovery Version) 15:22Then Moses moved Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore its name was called Marah. 24And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? 25And he cried to Jehovah, and Jehovah showed him a tree; and he cast it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them. 26And He said, If you will listen carefully to the voice of Jehovah your God and do what is right in His eyes and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Jehovah who heals you. 27And they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees; and they encamped there by the waters.
