Numbers 20:1 Then came935 the children1121 of Israel,3478even the whole congregation,5712 into the desert4057 of Zin6790 in the first7223 month:2320 and the people5971 abode3427 in Kadesh;6946 and Miriam4813 died4191 there, and was buried6912 there.
Numbers 20:2 And there was no water4325 for the congregation:5712 and they gathered6950 themselves together against Moses4872 and against Aaron.1753 And the people5971 chode7378 with Moses,4872 and spake,559 saying,559 Would God that3863 we had died1478 when our brethren251 died1478 before6440 the LORD!30684 And why have ye brought up935 the congregation6951 of the LORD3068 into this wilderness,4057 that we and our cattle1165 should die4191 there?
5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up5927 out of Egypt,4714 to bring935 us in unto this evil7451 place?4725 it is no place4725 of seed,2233 or of figs,8384 or of vines,1612 or of pomegranates;7416 neither is there any water4325 to drink.83546 And Moses4872 and Aaron175 went935 from the presence6440 of the assembly6951 unto the door6607 of the tabernacle168 of the congregation,4150 and they fell5307 upon their faces:6440 and the glory3519 of the LORD3068 appeared7200 unto them.
Numbers 20:7 And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto Moses,4872 saying,5598 Take3947 the rod,4294 and gather6950 thou the assembly5712 together, thou, and Aaron175 thy brother,251 and speak1696 ye unto the rock5553 before their eyes;5869 and it shall give forth5414 his water,4325 and thou shalt bring forth3318 to them water4325 out of the rock:5553 so thou shalt give82482794 the congregation5712 and their beasts1165 drink.82489 And Moses4872 took3947 the rod4294 from before6440 the LORD,3068 as he commanded6680 him.
10 And Moses4872 and Aaron175 gathered6950 the congregation6951 together before6440 the rock,5553 and he said559 unto them, Hear8085 now, ye rebels;4784 must we fetch3318 you water4325 out of this rock?555311 And Moses4872 lifted up7311 his hand,3027 and with his rod4294 he smote5221 the rock5553 twice:6471 and the water4325 came out3318 abundantly,7227 and the congregation5712 drank,8354 and their beasts1165also.
Numbers 20:12 And the LORD3068 spake559 unto Moses4872 and Aaron,175 Because ye believed539 me not, to sanctify6942 me in the eyes5869 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 therefore ye shall not bring935 this congregation6951 into the land776 which I have given5414 them.
13 This is1992 the water4325 of Meribah;4809{that is, strife} because the children1121 of Israel3478 strove7378 with the LORD,3068 and he was sanctified6942 in them.
Numbers 20:14 And Moses4872 sent7971 messengers4397 from Kadesh6946 unto the king4428 of Edom,123 Thus saith559 thy brother251 Israel,3478 Thou knowest3045 all the travail8513 that hath befallen4672{Heb. found us} us:
15 How our fathers1 went down3381 into Egypt,4714 and we have dwelt3427 in Egypt4714 a long7227 time;3117 and the Egyptians4714 vexed7489 us, and our fathers:116 And when we cried6817 unto the LORD,3068 he heard8085 our voice,6963 and sent7971 an angel,4397 and hath brought us forth3318 out of Egypt:4714 and, behold, we are in Kadesh,6946 a city5892 in the uttermost7097 of thy border:136617 Let us pass,5674 I pray thee, through thy country:776 we will not pass5674 through the fields,7704 or through the vineyards,3754 neither will we drink8354of the water4325 of the wells:875 we will go3212 by the king's4428high way,1870 we will not turn5186 to the right hand3225 nor to the left,8040 until we have passed5674 thy borders.136618 And Edom123 said559 unto him, Thou shalt not pass5674 by me, lest I come out3318 against7125 thee with the sword.271919 And the children1121 of Israel3478 said559 unto him, We will go5927 by the high way:4546 and if I and my cattle4735 drink8354 of thy water,4325 then I will pay54144377 for it: I will only, without doing any thing1697else, go through5674 on my feet.727220 And he said,559 Thou shalt not go through.5674 And Edom123 came out3318 against7125 him with much3515 people,5971 and with a strong2389 hand.302721 Thus Edom123 refused3985 to give5414 Israel3478 passage5674 through his border:1366 wherefore Israel3478 turned away5186 from him.
Numbers 20:22 And the children1121 of Israel,3478even the whole congregation,5712 journeyed5265 from Kadesh,6946 and came935 unto mount2022 Hor.202323 And the LORD3068 spake559 unto Moses4872 and Aaron175 in mount2022 Hor,2023 by the coast1366 of the land776 of Edom,123 saying,55924 Aaron175 shall be gathered622 unto his people:5971 for he shall not enter935 into the land776 which I have given5414 unto the children1121 of Israel,3478 because ye rebelled against4784 my word6310{Heb. mouth} at the water4325 of Meribah.480925 Take3947 Aaron175 and Eleazar499 his son,1121 and bring them up5927 unto mount2022 Hor:202326 And strip6584 Aaron175 of his garments,899 and put3847 them upon Eleazar499 his son:1121 and Aaron175 shall be gathered622untohispeople, and shall die4191 there.
27 And Moses4872 did6213 as the LORD3068 commanded:6680 and they went up5927 into mount2022 Hor2023 in the sight5869 of all the congregation.571228 And Moses4872 stripped6584 Aaron175 of his garments,899 and put3847 them upon Eleazar499 his son;1121 and Aaron175 died4191 there in the top7218 of the mount:2022 and Moses4872 and Eleazar499 came down3381 from the mount.202229 And when all the congregation5712 saw7200 that Aaron175 was dead,1478 they mourned1058 for Aaron175 thirty7970 days,3117even all the house1004 of Israel.3478
