But the people thirsted for water there, and they grumbled against Moses: “Why have you brought us out of Egypt—to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”

Deuteronomy 28:48 וּבְצָמָ֛א and in thirst

you will serve your enemies the LORD will send against you in famine, thirst, nakedness, and destitution. He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.

Here: Thirst, which is deadly in a dry land. It undoes the promise of a land of streams and springs (8:7).

Judges 15:18 בַּצָּמָ֔א with <the> thirst

And being very thirsty, Samson cried out to the LORD, “You have accomplished this great deliverance through Your servant. Must I now die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?”

2 Chronicles 32:11 וּבְצָמָ֖א and by thirst

Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give you over to death by famine and thirst when he says, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria?’

Nehemiah 9:15 לִצְמָאָ֑ם for thirst their

In their hunger You gave them bread from heaven; in their thirst You brought them water from the rock. You told them to go in and possess the land that You had sworn to give them.

Here: It pairs with 'for their hunger': each need is met by a matching gift.

Nehemiah 9:20 לִצְמָאָֽם׃ for thirst their

You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them. You did not withhold Your manna from their mouths, and You gave them water for their thirst.

Here: 'For their thirst': the gift answers a real bodily need in a desert. The verse moves from the inner gift (spirit, wisdom) to the most basic physical one (water).

Psalm 69:21 וְ֝לִצְמָאִ֗י and for thirst my

They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

Here: 'And for my thirst': the need they were supposed to meet. In a dry land, giving a thirsty person water was a basic duty, owed even to an enemy (Prov 25:21).

Psalm 104:11 צְמָאָֽם׃ thirst their

They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

Isaiah 5:13 צָמָֽא׃ thirst

Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.

Here: 'Parched of thirst', meaning dried up with thirst. Coming after verse 11, where people chased 'strong drink' from morning on and stayed up inflamed with wine, the irony is pointed: the drinkers end with nothing to drink.

Isaiah 41:17 בַּצָּמָ֣א with <the> thirst

The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.

Here: "With (or from) thirst": the cause of the tongue's drying. The same word is used for Israel's thirst in the wilderness (Exodus 17:3).

Isaiah 50:2 בַּצָּמָֽא׃ by <the> thirst

Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.

Here: 'Of thirst'. The paradox is vivid: fish, creatures of water, dying of thirst. It shows how complete God's mastery over the waters is.

Jeremiah 48:18 בַצָּמָ֔א in <the> thirst

Come down from your glory; sit on parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.

Now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

Hosea 2:3 בַּצָּמָֽא׃ with <the> thirst

Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.

Here: "By the thirst." Death through lack of water. The threat ends on the point most directly aimed at Baal, the god Israel credited with giving rain.

Amos 8:11 צָמָ֣א a thirst

Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord GOD, when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.

Amos 8:13 בַּצָּמָֽא׃ by <the> thirst

In that day the lovely young women—the young men as well—will faint from thirst.
