1 Then came 935 the children 1121 of Israel 3478, even the whole congregation 5712, into the desert 4057 of Zin 6790 in the first 7223 month 2320: and the people 5971 abode 3427 in Kadesh 6946; and Miriam 4813 died 4191 there, and was buried 6912 there.
2 And there was no water 4325 for the congregation 5712: and they gathered 6950 themselves together against Moses 4872 and against Aaron 175.
3 And the people 5971 chode 7378 with Moses 4872, and spake 559, saying 559, Would God that 3863 we had died 1478 when our brethren 251 died 1478 before 6440 the LORD 3068!
4 And why have ye brought up 935 the congregation 6951 of the LORD 3068 into this wilderness 4057, that we and our cattle 1165 should die 4191 there?
5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up 5927 out of Egypt 4714, to bring 935 us in unto this evil 7451 place 4725? it is no place 4725 of seed 2233, or of figs 8384, or of vines 1612, or of pomegranates 7416; neither is there any water 4325 to drink 8354.
6 And Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 went 935 from the presence 6440 of the assembly 6951 unto the door 6607 of the tabernacle 168 of the congregation 4150, and they fell 5307 upon their faces 6440: and the glory 3519 of the LORD 3068 appeared 7200 unto them.
7 And the LORD 3068 spake 1696 unto Moses 4872, saying 559,
8 Take 3947 the rod 4294, and gather 6950 thou the assembly 5712 together, thou, and Aaron 175 thy brother 251, and speak 1696 ye unto the rock 5553 before their eyes 5869; and it shall give forth 5414 his water 4325, and thou shalt bring forth 3318 to them water 4325 out of the rock 5553: so thou shalt give the congregation 5712 and their beasts 1165 drink 8248.
9 And Moses 4872 took 3947 the rod 4294 from before 6440 the LORD 3068, as he commanded 6680 him.
10 And Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 gathered 6950 the congregation 6951 together before 6440 the rock 5553, and he said 559 unto them, Hear 8085 now, ye rebels 4784; must we fetch 3318 you water 4325 out of this rock 5553?
11 And Moses 4872 lifted up 7311 his hand 3027, and with his rod 4294 he smote 5221 the rock 5553 twice 6471: and the water 4325 came out 3318 abundantly 7227, and the congregation 5712 drank 8354, and their beasts 1165 also.
12 And the LORD 3068 spake 559 unto Moses 4872 and Aaron 175, Because ye believed 539 me not, to sanctify 6942 me in the eyes 5869 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, therefore ye shall not bring 935 this congregation 6951 into the land 776 which I have given 5414 them.
13 This is 1992 the water 4325 of Meribah 4809; because the children 1121 of Israel 3478 strove 7378 with the LORD 3068, and he was sanctified 6942 in them.
14 And Moses 4872 sent 7971 messengers 4397 from Kadesh 6946 unto the king 4428 of Edom 123, Thus saith 559 thy brother 251 Israel 3478, Thou knowest 3045 all the travail 8513 that hath befallen 4672 us:
15 How our fathers 1 went down 3381 into Egypt 4714, and we have dwelt 3427 in Egypt 4714 a long 7227 time 3117; and the Egyptians 4714 vexed 7489 us, and our fathers 1:
16 And when we cried 6817 unto the LORD 3068, he heard 8085 our voice 6963, and sent 7971 an angel 4397, and hath brought us forth 3318 out of Egypt 4714: and, behold, we are in Kadesh 6946, a city 5892 in the uttermost 7097 of thy border 1366:
17 Let us pass 5674, I pray thee, through thy country 776: we will not pass 5674 through the fields 7704, or through the vineyards 3754, neither will we drink 8354 of the water 4325 of the wells 875: we will go 3212 by the king's 4428 high way 1870, we will not turn 5186 to the right hand 3225 nor to the left 8040, until we have passed 5674 thy borders 1366.
18 And Edom 123 said 559 unto him, Thou shalt not pass 5674 by me, lest I come out 3318 against 7125 thee with the sword 2719.
19 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 said 559 unto him, We will go 5927 by the high way 4546: and if I and my cattle 4735 drink 8354 of thy water 4325, then I will pay 5414 4377 for it: I will only, without doing any thing 1697 else, go through 5674 on my feet 7272.
20 And he said 559, Thou shalt not go through 5674. And Edom 123 came out 3318 against 7125 him with much 3515 people 5971, and with a strong 2389 hand 3027.
21 Thus Edom 123 refused 3985 to give 5414 Israel 3478 passage 5674 through his border 1366: wherefore Israel 3478 turned away 5186 from him.
22 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478, even the whole congregation 5712, journeyed 5265 from Kadesh 6946, and came 935 unto mount 2022 Hor 2023.
23 And the LORD 3068 spake 559 unto Moses 4872 and Aaron 175 in mount 2022 Hor 2023, by the coast 1366 of the land 776 of Edom 123, saying 559,
24 Aaron 175 shall be gathered 622 unto his people 5971: for he shall not enter 935 into the land 776 which I have given 5414 unto the children 1121 of Israel 3478, because ye rebelled against 4784 my word 6310 at the water 4325 of Meribah 4809.
25 Take 3947 Aaron 175 and Eleazar 499 his son 1121, and bring them up 5927 unto mount 2022 Hor 2023:
26 And strip 6584 Aaron 175 of his garments 899, and put 3847 them upon Eleazar 499 his son 1121: and Aaron 175 shall be gathered 622 unto his people, and shall die 4191 there.
27 And Moses 4872 did 6213 as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680: and they went up 5927 into mount 2022 Hor 2023 in the sight 5869 of all the congregation 5712.
28 And Moses 4872 stripped 6584 Aaron 175 of his garments 899, and put 3847 them upon Eleazar 499 his son 1121; and Aaron 175 died 4191 there in the top 7218 of the mount 2022: and Moses 4872 and Eleazar 499 came down 3381 from the mount 2022.
29 And when all the congregation 5712 saw 7200 that Aaron 175 was dead 1478, they mourned 1058 for Aaron 175 thirty 7970 days 3117, even all the house 1004 of Israel 3478.
