Then came <H0935> the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> [even] the whole congregation, <H5712> into the desert <H4057> of Zin <H6790> in the first <H7223> month: <H2320> and the people <H5971> abode <H3427> in Kadesh; <H6946> and Miriam <H4813> died <H4191> there, and was buried <H6912> there.
2
And there was no water <H4325> for the congregation: <H5712> and they gathered themselves together <H6950> against Moses <H4872> and against Aaron. <H0175>
3
And the people <H5971> chode <H7378> with Moses, <H4872> and spake, <H0559> saying, <H0559> Would God that <H3863> we had died <H1478> when our brethren <H0251> died <H1478> before <H6440> the LORD! <H3068>
4
And why have ye brought <H0935> up the congregation <H6951> of the LORD <H3068> into this wilderness, <H4057> that we and our cattle <H1165> should die <H4191> there?
5
And wherefore have ye made us to come up <H5927> out of Egypt, <H4714> to bring <H0935> us in unto this evil <H7451> place? <H4725> it [is] no place <H4725> of seed, <H2233> or of figs, <H8384> or of vines, <H1612> or of pomegranates; <H7416> neither [is] there any water <H4325> to drink. <H8354>
6
And Moses <H4872> and Aaron <H0175> went <H0935> from the presence <H6440> of the assembly <H6951> unto the door <H6607> of the tabernacle <H0168> of the congregation, <H4150> and they fell <H5307> upon their faces: <H6440> and the glory <H3519> of the LORD <H3068> appeared <H7200> unto them.
7
And the LORD <H3068> spake <H1696> unto Moses, <H4872> saying, <H0559>
8
Take <H3947> the rod, <H4294> and gather thou the assembly <H5712> together, <H6950> thou, and Aaron <H0175> thy brother, <H0251> and speak <H1696> ye unto the rock <H5553> before their eyes; <H5869> and it shall give forth <H5414> his water, <H4325> and thou shalt bring forth <H3318> to them water <H4325> out of the rock: <H5553> so thou shalt give the congregation <H5712> and their beasts <H1165> drink. <H8248>
9
And Moses <H4872> took <H3947> the rod <H4294> from before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> as he commanded <H6680> him.
10
And Moses <H4872> and Aaron <H0175> gathered the congregation <H6951> together <H6950> before <H6440> the rock, <H5553> and he said <H0559> unto them, Hear <H8085> now, ye rebels; <H4784> must we fetch you water <H4325> out <H3318> of this rock? <H5553>
11
And Moses <H4872> lifted up <H7311> his hand, <H3027> and with his rod <H4294> he smote <H5221> the rock <H5553> twice: <H6471> and the water <H4325> came out <H3318> abundantly, <H7227> and the congregation <H5712> drank, <H8354> and their beasts <H1165> [also].
12
And the LORD <H3068> spake <H0559> unto Moses <H4872> and Aaron, <H0175> Because ye believed <H0539> me not, to sanctify <H6942> me in the eyes <H5869> of the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> therefore ye shall not bring <H0935> this congregation <H6951> into the land <H0776> which I have given <H5414> them.
13
This <H1992> [is] the water <H4325> of Meribah; <H4809> because the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> strove <H7378> with the LORD, <H3068> and he was sanctified <H6942> in them.
14
And Moses <H4872> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> from Kadesh <H6946> unto the king <H4428> of Edom, <H0123> Thus saith <H0559> thy brother <H0251> Israel, <H3478> Thou knowest <H3045> all the travail <H8513> that hath befallen <H4672> us:
15
How our fathers <H0001> went down <H3381> into Egypt, <H4714> and we have dwelt <H3427> in Egypt <H4714> a long <H7227> time; <H3117> and the Egyptians <H4714> vexed <H7489> us, and our fathers: <H0001>
16
And when we cried <H6817> unto the LORD, <H3068> he heard <H8085> our voice, <H6963> and sent <H7971> an angel, <H4397> and hath brought us forth <H3318> out of Egypt: <H4714> and, behold, we [are] in Kadesh, <H6946> a city <H5892> in the uttermost <H7097> of thy border: <H1366>
17
Let us pass, <H5674> I pray thee, through thy country: <H0776> we will not pass <H5674> through the fields, <H7704> or through the vineyards, <H3754> neither will we drink <H8354> [of] the water <H4325> of the wells: <H0875> we will go <H3212> by the king's <H4428> [high] way, <H1870> we will not turn <H5186> to the right hand <H3225> nor to the left, <H8040> until we have passed <H5674> thy borders. <H1366>
18
And Edom <H0123> said <H0559> unto him, Thou shalt not pass <H5674> by me, lest I come out <H3318> against <H7125> thee with the sword. <H2719>
19
And the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> said <H0559> unto him, We will go <H5927> by the high way: <H4546> and if I and my cattle <H4735> drink <H8354> of thy water, <H4325> then I will pay <H5414> <H4377> for it: I will only, without [doing] anything <H1697> [else], go through <H5674> on my feet. <H7272>
20
And he said, <H0559> Thou shalt not go through. <H5674> And Edom <H0123> came out <H3318> against <H7125> him with much <H3515> people, <H5971> and with a strong <H2389> hand. <H3027>
21
Thus Edom <H0123> refused <H3985> to give <H5414> Israel <H3478> passage <H5674> through his border: <H1366> wherefore Israel <H3478> turned <H5186> away from him.
22
And the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> [even] the whole congregation, <H5712> journeyed <H5265> from Kadesh, <H6946> and came <H0935> unto mount <H2022> Hor. <H2023>
23
And the LORD <H3068> spake <H0559> unto Moses <H4872> and Aaron <H0175> in mount <H2022> Hor, <H2023> by the coast <H1366> of the land <H0776> of Edom, <H0123> saying, <H0559>
24
Aaron <H0175> shall be gathered <H0622> unto his people: <H5971> for he shall not enter <H0935> into the land <H0776> which I have given <H5414> unto the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> because ye rebelled <H4784> against my word <H6310> at the water <H4325> of Meribah. <H4809>
25
Take <H3947> Aaron <H0175> and Eleazar <H0499> his son, <H1121> and bring them up <H5927> unto mount <H2022> Hor: <H2023>
26
And strip <H6584> Aaron <H0175> of his garments, <H0899> and put <H3847> them upon Eleazar <H0499> his son: <H1121> and Aaron <H0175> shall be gathered <H0622> [unto his people], and shall die <H4191> there.
27
And Moses <H4872> did <H6213> as the LORD <H3068> commanded: <H6680> and they went up <H5927> into mount <H2022> Hor <H2023> in the sight <H5869> of all the congregation. <H5712>
28
And Moses <H4872> stripped <H6584> Aaron <H0175> of his garments, <H0899> and put <H3847> them upon Eleazar <H0499> his son; <H1121> and Aaron <H0175> died <H4191> there in the top <H7218> of the mount: <H2022> and Moses <H4872> and Eleazar <H0499> came down <H3381> from the mount. <H2022>
29
And when all the congregation <H5712> saw <H7200> that Aaron <H0175> was dead, <H1478> they mourned <H1058> for Aaron <H0175> thirty <H7970> days, <H3117> [even] all the house <H1004> of Israel. <H3478>
