7 And he called the name of the place ^aMassah, and ^bMeribah, because of the ^cchiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?

  1 And when the people ^acomplained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the ^bfire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
