Numbers 20:5

And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.

KJV

quare nos fecistis ascendere de Ægypto, et adduxistis in locum istum pessimum, qui seri non potest, qui nec ficum gignit, nec vineas, nec malogranata, insuper et aquam non habet ad bibendum ?

Vulgate

καὶ ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἀνήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου παραγενέσθαι εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον; τόπος οὗ οὐ σπείρεται, οὐδὲ συκαῖ οὐδὲ ἄμπελοι οὐδὲ ῥόαι, οὐδὲ ὕδωρ ἐστὶν πιεῖν.

LXX

And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
