Numbers 20
1And the children of IsraelH3478, the whole assemblyH5712, cameH935 into the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790, in the firstH7223 monthH2320; and the peopleH5971 abode at KadeshH6946; and MiriamH4813 diedH4191 there, and was buriedH6912 there. 2And there wasH1961 no waterH4325 for the assemblyH5712, and they gathered themselves together against MosesH4872 and against AaronH175. 3And the peopleH5971 contendedH7378 with MosesH4872, and spoke, sayingH559, Would that we had diedH1478 when our brethren diedH1478 before Jehovah! 4And whyH4100 have ye broughtH935 the congregation of Jehovah into this wildernessH4057, that we should dieH4191 there, we and our beasts? 5And whyH4100 have ye made us to goH935 up out of EgyptH4714, to bringH935 us to this evilH7451 placeH4725? it is no placeH4725 of seedH2233, or of figsH8384, or of vinesH1612, or of pomegranatesH7416, neither is there any waterH4325 to drinkH8354. 6And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 wentH935 from before the congregation to the entranceH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and fellH5307 upon their facesH6440; and the gloryH3519 of Jehovah appearedH7200 to them. 7And Jehovah spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 8TakeH3947 the staffH4294, and gather the assemblyH5712 togetherH6950, thou, and AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and speakH1696 ye unto the rockH5553 before their eyesH5869, and it shall giveH5414 its waterH4325; and thou shalt bringH3318 forthH3318 to them waterH4325 out of the rockH5553, and shalt giveH5414 the assemblyH5712 and their beasts drinkH8248. 9And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the staffH4294 from before Jehovah, as he had commandedH6680 him. 10And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 gathered the congregation togetherH6950 before the rockH5553, and he saidH559 to them, HearH8085 now, ye rebelsH4784: shall we bringH3318 forthH3318 to you waterH4325 out of this rockH5553? 11And MosesH4872 liftedH7311 up his handH3027, and with his staffH4294 smote the rockH5553 twice, and much waterH4325 cameH3318 out, and the assemblyH5712 drankH8354, and their beasts. 12And Jehovah saidH559 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, Because ye believedH539 me not, to hallow me before the eyesH5869 of the children of IsraelH3478, thereforeH3651 ye shall not bringH935 this congregation into the landH776 that I have givenH5414 them. 13These are the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809, whereH834 the children of IsraelH3478 contendedH7378 with Jehovah, and he hallowed himself in them. 14And MosesH4872 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from KadeshH6946 to the kingH4428 of EdomH123, ThusH3541 saysH559 thy brotherH251 IsraelH3478: Thou knowest all the trouble that hath befallen us, 15how our fathersH1 wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714, and we dweltH3427 in EgyptH4714 a long time, and the Egyptians evilH7489 entreated us and our fathersH1; 16and when we criedH6817 to Jehovah, he heardH8085 our voiceH6963, and sentH7971 an angelH4397, and broughtH3318 us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714; and behold, we are at KadeshH6946, a cityH5892 at the extremity of thy borderH1366. 17Let us passH5674, I pray thee, through thy country; we will not passH5674 through fieldsH7704, or through vineyardsH3754, neither will we drinkH8354 waterH4325 out of the wellsH875: we will go by the king's roadH1870; we will not turnH5186 to the rightH3225 handH3225 nor to the left, until we have passedH5674 thy borderH1366. 18But EdomH123 saidH559 to him, Thou shalt not passH5674 by me, lestH6435 I comeH3318 out against thee with the swordH2719. 19And the children of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to him, We will goH5927 by the high way; and if we drinkH8354 of thy waterH4325, I and my cattle, then I will pay for it: I will onlyH7535, without anythingH1697 else, goH5927 through on my feetH7272. 20And he saidH559, Thou shalt not goH3318 through. And EdomH123 cameH3318 out against him with much peopleH5971, and with a strongH2389 handH3027. 21Thus EdomH123 refusedH3985 to giveH5414 IsraelH3478 passage through his territoryH1366; and IsraelH3478 turnedH5186 away from him. 22And they removed from KadeshH6946; and the children of IsraelH3478, the whole assemblyH5712, cameH935 to mount HorH2023. 23And Jehovah spoke to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175 in mount HorH2023, on the borderH1366 of the landH776 of EdomH123, sayingH559, 24AaronH175 shall be gatheredH622 unto his peoplesH5971; for he shall not enter into the landH776 that I have givenH5414 unto the children of IsraelH3478, because ye rebelledH4784 against my commandment at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809. 25TakeH3947 AaronH175 and EleazarH499 his sonH1121, and bringH5927 them up unto mount HorH2023, 26and stripH6584 AaronH175 of his garmentsH899, and putH4191 them upon EleazarH499 his sonH1121; and AaronH175 shall be gatheredH622 [to his peoples], and shall dieH4191 there. 27And MosesH4872 did as Jehovah had commandedH6680, and they wentH5927 up mount HorH2023 before the eyesH5869 of the whole assemblyH5712. 28And MosesH4872 strippedH6584 AaronH175 of his garmentsH899, and putH4191 them upon EleazarH499 his sonH1121; and AaronH175 diedH4191 there upon the topH7218 of the mountainH2022; and MosesH4872 and EleazarH499 cameH3381 downH3381 from the mountainH2022. 29And the whole assemblyH5712 sawH7200 that AaronH175 was dead, and they mourned for AaronH175 thirtyH7970 daysH3117, [even] the whole houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
