Numbers 20:13-24

13These are the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809; because the children of IsraelH3478 strove with Jehovah, and he was sanctifiedH6942 in them.

14And MosesH4872 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from KadeshH6946 unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123, ThusH3541 saith thy brotherH251 IsraelH3478, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us: 15how our fathersH1 wentH3381 downH3381 into EgyptH4714, and we dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714 a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathersH1: 16and when we criedH6817 unto Jehovah, he heardH8085 our voiceH6963, and sentH7971 an angelH4397, and broughtH3318 us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714: and, behold, we are in KadeshH6946, a cityH5892 in the uttermost of thy borderH1366. 17Let us passH5674, I pray thee, through thy landH776: we will not passH5674 through fieldH7704 or through vineyardH3754, neither will we drinkH8354 of the waterH4325 of the wellsH875; we will go along the king’sH4428 highway; we will not turnH5186 asideH5186 to the rightH3225 handH3225 nor to the left, until we have passedH5674 thy borderH1366. 18And EdomH123 saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not passH5674 through me, lestH6435 I comeH3318 out with the swordH2719 against thee. 19And the children of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, We will goH5927 up by the highwayH4546; and if we drinkH8354 of thy waterH4325, I and my cattle, then will I giveH5414 the priceH4377 thereof: let me onlyH7535, without doing anythingH1697 else, passH5674 through on my feetH7272. 20And he saidH559, Thou shalt not passH5674 through. And EdomH123 cameH3318 out against him with much peopleH5971, and with a strongH2389 handH3027. 21Thus EdomH123 refusedH3985 to giveH5414 IsraelH3478 passage through his borderH1366: wherefore IsraelH3478 turnedH5186 away from him.

22And they journeyed from KadeshH6946: and the children of IsraelH3478, even the whole congregationH5712, cameH935 unto mount HorH2023. 23And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in mount HorH2023, by the borderH1366 of the landH776 of EdomH123, sayingH559, 24AaronH175 shall be gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971; for he shall not enter into the landH776 which I have givenH5414 unto the children of IsraelH3478, because ye rebelledH4784 against my word at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809.
