Numbers 20:13-24

13ThoseH1992 were called the watersH4325 of 12MeribahH4809, 3becauseH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 arguedH7378 with the LordH3068, and He provedH6942 Himself holyH6942 among them.

14From KadeshH6946 MosesH4872 then sentH7971 messengersH4397 to 4the kingH4428 of EdomH112 to say, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 your brotherH251 IsraelH3478 has saidH559: ‘You 5knowH3045 allH3605 the hardshipH8513 that has 6overtakenH4672 us; 15that our fathersH1 wentH3381 downH3381 to EgyptH4714, and we stayedH3427 in EgyptH4714 a longH7227 timeH3117, and the EgyptiansH4714 treatedH7489 us and our fathersH1 badlyH7489. 16But 7when we criedH6817 outH6817 to the LordH3068, He heardH8085 our voiceH6963 and sentH7971 8an angelH4397, and broughtH3318 us outH3318 from EgyptH4714; now beholdH2009, we are at KadeshH6946, a townH5892 on the edgeH7097 of your territoryH1366. 17PleaseH4994 9let us passH5674 through your landH776. We will not passH5674 through fieldH7704 or vineyardH3754; we will not even drinkH8354 waterH4325 from a wellH875. We will goH1980 along the king’sH4428 roadH1870, not turningH5186 to the rightH3225 or leftH8040, untilH5704H834 we passH5674 throughH5674 your territoryH1366.’”

1810EdomH112, however, saidH559 to him, “You shall not passH5674 through 11us, orH6435 I will comeH3318 outH3318 with the swordH2719 againstH7122 you.” 19Again, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to him, “We will goH5927 upH5927 by the roadH4546, and ifH518 I and 12my livestockH4735 do drinkH8354 any of your waterH4325, 13then I will 14payH5414 its priceH4377. Let me onlyH7534 passH5674 throughH5674 on my feetH7272, 15nothingH369H1697 more.” 20But he saidH559, “16You shall not passH5674 throughH5674.” And EdomH112 cameH3318 outH3318 againstH7122 him with a heavyH3515 17forceH5971 and a strongH2389 handH3027. 2118So EdomH112 refusedH3985 to allowH5414 IsraelH3478 to passH5674 through his territoryH1366; 19then IsraelH3478 turnedH5186 awayH5186 from him.

22Now when they setH5265 outH5265 from 20KadeshH6946, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, the wholeH3605 congregationH5712, cameH935 to MountH2022 HorH2023. 23Then the LordH3068 spokeH559 to MosesH4872 and AaronH175 at 21MountH2022 HorH2023 by the borderH1366 of the landH776 of EdomH112, sayingH559, 24“AaronH175 will be 22gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971; for he shall not enterH935 the landH776 whichH834 I have givenH5414 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, becauseH5921H834 23you rebelledH4784 againstH854 My 24commandH6310 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809.
