Here's an interpretation of those Bible passages in simpler English:
Hebrews 12:15: "Watch out that no one misses out on God's grace. Make sure no root of bitterness grows to trouble you and cause harm to many."
This verse advises being vigilant so no one lacks God's kindness and favor. It also warns against allowing bitterness to take root and cause trouble and harm to others.
Exodus 15:23-25: "When they came to Marah, they couldn’t drink the water because it was bitter. That's why it was named Marah. The people complained to Moses, asking what they should drink. Moses prayed to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and the water became sweet."
In this passage, the Israelites reached a place called Marah, where the water was too bitter to drink. The people complained to Moses, who prayed to God. God showed Moses a piece of wood, which he threw into the water, and it became sweet and drinkable.
So, the overall message is to remain vigilant against bitterness and rely on God's grace to transform difficult situations into positive ones.
