Context — The Waters of Marah
20Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and dancing.
21And Miriam sang back to them: “Sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted; the horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.”
22Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Desert of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water.
23And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the water there because it was bitter. (That is why it was named Marah.) 24So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”Cross References

Exodus 15:22 Summary
After the miraculous rescue from the Red Sea, Moses led the Israelites into the Desert of Shur, where they had to trust God for their basic needs. For three days, they walked without finding water, which taught them to rely on God's provision, just as He provided manna and quail in Exodus 16:4 and Numbers 11:31. This experience in the Desert of Shur was a test of their faith, showing them that God is always with them, even in the toughest times, as promised in Deuteronomy 31:6 and Hebrews 13:5. By trusting in God's goodness and care, we can face our own challenges with confidence and hope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Moses lead the Israelites into the Desert of Shur after the Red Sea miracle?
Moses led the Israelites into the Desert of Shur as part of God's plan to test their faith and trust in Him, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:2, where it is written that God led them through the wilderness to humble and test them.
What does the Desert of Shur represent in the context of the Israelites' journey?
The Desert of Shur represents a place of testing and refining, where the Israelites had to rely on God for their daily needs, much like the wilderness experiences described in Exodus 16:4 and Numbers 14:22.
Why did the Israelites not find water for three days in the Desert of Shur?
The Israelites did not find water for three days because God was teaching them to depend on Him for their daily provisions, as stated in Exodus 16:4, where God promised to rain down bread from heaven to feed them.
How does this verse relate to the broader story of the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt?
This verse is a continuation of the Israelites' journey after their miraculous deliverance from Egypt, as described in Exodus 14:13-31, and sets the stage for their experiences in the wilderness, where they would learn to trust God for their every need, as seen in Exodus 15:22-27 and Numbers 20:1-13.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I am struggling to find spiritual nourishment, and how can I trust God to provide for me?
- How do I respond when faced with uncertainty or lack, and what can I learn from the Israelites' experiences in the Desert of Shur?
- What are some ways I can cultivate a deeper trust in God's provision and care for my life, even in the midst of challenges and difficulties?
- How can I apply the lesson of the Desert of Shur to my own journey of faith, and what role does perseverance and patience play in my spiritual growth?
Gill's Exposition on Exodus 15:22
So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea,.... Or "caused them to journey" (a), which some think was done with difficulty, they being so eager and intent upon the spoil and plunder of the Egyptians
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 15:22
So Moses brought Israel 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. Wilderness of Shur - comprehending all the western part of Arabia-Petraea.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 15:22
Shur; so usually called, ; and by the Israelites, Etham, as may be gathered by comparing this place with , for both there and here it is said they went three days in this wilderness.
Trapp's Commentary on Exodus 15:22
Exodus 15:22 So Moses brought Israel 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.Ver. 22. And found no water.] Thirst and bitterness was their first bad omen on their journey.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 15:22
THE JOURNEY FROM THE RED SEA TO ELIM.(22) So Moses brought Israel.—Rather, And Moses brought Israel. The regular narrative is here resumed from Exodus 14:31, and the Israelites are brought two stages upon their journey towards Sinai (Exodus 3:12)—first to Marah (Exodus 15:23), and next to Elim (Exodus 15:27). It is uncertain at what exact point of the coast they emerged from the sea-bed, but it can scarcely have been at any great distance from the modern Suez. The “springs of Moses,” Ayun Musa, which are about seven miles from Suez, may well have been the halting-place where the “Song” was composed and sung. At this spot there is considerable vegetation, and a number of wells, variously reckoned at seven, seventeen, and nineteen. The wilderness of Shur is the arid tract extending from Lake Serbônis on the north to Ain Howarah towards the south. It seems to have been called also “the wilderness of Etham” (Numbers 33:8). The Israelites traversed only the southern portion, which is an actual desert, treeless, waterless, and, except in the early spring, destitute of herbage. They went three days.—From Ayun Musa to Ain Howarah is a distance of about thirty-six miles, so that, if Howarah is Marah, the average of a march can have been no more than twelve miles. This, however, is quite likely with so large a multitude, and when there was no reason for haste.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 15:22
Verse 22. The wilderness of Shur] This was on the coast of the Red Sea on their road to Mount Sinai. See the map.

Barnes' Notes on Exodus 15:22
So Moses - Literally, And Moses. The history of the journey from the Red Sea to Sinai begins in fact with this verse, which would more conveniently have been the commencement of another chapter.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 15:22
