- [They LACKED it...] This was their first testing, once they had left Egypt... and they did not do very well. God had already prepared relief, 12 springs of water waiting for them at Elim, but they weren't patient enough to wait for God's provisions!
- Isa 26:20 Come, my people, enter into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
- Patiently wait for God's judgment against the wicked (as described in the next verse). This verse is reminiscent of the Passover, when God killed the firstborn of Egypt (Exodus 12). Only those who stayed inside (with the blood of the lamb sprinkled on the doorposts of the house) were spared. (In the New Testament, Jesus tells his followers to flee to the mountains (Matthew 24:16 & Mark 13:14b & Luke 21:21a; but that is a reference to an enemy attack, not to God's judgment of the people.)
