Qui jurgatus contra Moysen, ait : Da nobis aquam, ut bibamus. Quibus respondit Moyses : Quid jurgamini contra me ? cur tentatis Dominum ?
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο ὁ λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγοντες Δὸς ἡμῖν ὕδωρ ἵνα πίωμεν. καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς Τί λοιδορεῖσθέ μοι, καὶ τί πειράζετε Κύριον;
Hebrew (WLC)
וַיָּ֤רֶב הָעָם֙ עִם מֹשֶׁ֔ה וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ תְּנוּ לָ֥נוּ מַ֖יִם וְנִשְׁתֶּ֑ה וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ מֹשֶׁ֔ה מַה תְּרִיבוּן֙ עִמָּדִ֔י מַה תְּנַסּ֖וּן אֶת יְהוָֽה
