Context of Numbers 20:22

20The king of Edom said, ‘No, you must not travel through our country.’ He sent many strong soldiers to attack the Israelites. 21In that way, the Edomites stopped the Israelites from travelling through Edom. So the Israelites turned away from there. All the Israelites went from Kadesh to Hor mountain. 23When they were there, at the border of Edom's land, the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. 24He said, ‘Aaron will soon die. He will not go in to the land that I am giving to the Israelites. That is because you both refused to obey me at Meribah.
