They crossed a hot and dry desert where there was no water hole could be found. And they had used up all the water they brought with them. They became panicky. They asked their King Tolut to pray to God for water. Tolut said to all of them, "Truly this is a test from Yehweh by a river. Those of you who will drink the river water until contented are not with me/not of my people. But those of you who will not and do drink the water are with me/my loyal followers, except that you drink, you only drink a scoop of water scooped up with your hands.").  (to be continued).
