Question
Hello Rabbi, In Chukat 20:17, Rashi mentions that even though we have manna to eat and a well to drink from, we will buy food from you. However, at the beginning of the parasha, we see that Miriam passed away and the well stopped providing water. How does this align?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Immediately after the waters of the well ceased, they returned thanks to Moses, as explained at the beginning of the parasha.
