< Numbers 20 >

1 Then the children of Israel came with ye whole Congregation to the desert of Zin in the first moneth, and the people abode at Cadesh: where Miriam died, and was buried there.
And they came [the] people of Israel all the congregation [the] wilderness of Zin in the month first and it remained the people in Kadesh and she died there Miriam and she was buried there.
2 But there was no water for the Congregation, and they assembled them selues against Moses and against Aaron.
And not it belonged water to the congregation and they assembled on Moses and on Aaron.
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God we had perished, when our brethren died before the Lord.
And it quarreled the people with Moses and they said saying and if we had died when died brothers our before Yahweh.
4 Why haue ye thus brought the Congregation of the Lord vnto his wildernesse, that both we, and our cattell should die there?
And why? have you brought [the] assembly of Yahweh into the wilderness this to die there we and livestock our.
5 Wherefore nowe haue yee made vs to come vp from Egypt, to bring vs into this miserable place, which is no place of seede, nor figges, nor vines, nor pomegranates? neither is there any water to drinke.
And why? have you brought up us from Egypt to bring us to the place the evil this not - a place of seed and fig tree and vine and pomegranate and [is] water there not to drink.
6 Then Moses and Aaron went from the assemblie vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and fell vpon their faces: and the glory of the Lord appeared vnto them.
And he went Moses and Aaron from before the assembly to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting and they fell on faces their and it appeared [the] glory of Yahweh to them.
7 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
8 Take the rod, and gather thou and thy brother Aaron the Congregation together, and speake yee vnto the rocke before their eyes, and it shall giue foorth his water, and thou shalt bring them water out of the rocke: so thou shalt giue the Congregation, and their beastes drinke.
Take the rod and assemble the congregation you and Aaron brother your and you will speak to the rock to eyes their and it will give water its and you will bring out for them water from the rock and you will give drink to the congregation and livestock their.
9 Then Moses tooke the rod from before the Lord, as he had commanded him.
And he took Moses the rod from to before Yahweh just as he had commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the Congregation together before the rocke, and Moses sayd vnto them, Heare nowe, ye rebels: shall we bring you water out of this rocke?
And they made assemble Moses and Aaron the assembly to [the] face of the rock and he said to them listen please O rebels ¿ from the rock this will we bring out for you water.
11 Then Moses lift vp his hande, and with his rod he smote the rocke twise, and the water came out aboundantly: so the Congregation, and their beastes dranke.
And he raised Moses hand his and he struck the rock with rod his two times and they came out waters many and it drank the congregation and livestock their.
12 Againe the Lord spake vnto Moses, and to Aaron, Because ye beleeued me not, to sanctifie mee in the presence of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this Congregation into the land which I haue giuen them.
And he said Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron because not you believed me to treat as holy me to [the] eyes of [the] people of Israel therefore not you will bring the assembly this into the land which I have given to them.
13 This is the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel stroue with the Lord, and hee was sanctified in them.
They [were] [the] waters of Meribah where they quarreled [the] people of Israel with Yahweh and he showed himself holy among them.
14 Then Moses sent messengers from Kadesh vnto the king of Edom, saying, Thus sayth thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the trauaile that we haue had,
And he sent Moses messengers from Kadesh to [the] king of Edom thus he says brother your Israel you you know all the hardship which it has come upon us.
15 How our fathers went downe into Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time, where the Egyptians handled vs euill and our fathers.
And they went down ancestors our Egypt towards and we dwelt in Egypt days many and they did harm to us Egypt and to ancestors our.
16 But when we cried vnto the Lord, he heard our voyce, and sent an Angel, and hath brought vs out of Egypt, and beholde, wee are in the citie Kadesh, in thine vtmost border.
And we cried out to Yahweh and he heard voice our and he sent an angel and he brought out us from Egypt and here! we [are] in Kadesh city of [the] outskirt[s] of territory your.
17 I pray thee that we may passe through thy countrey: we will not goe through the fieldes nor the vineyardes, neither will we drinke of the water of the welles: we will goe by the kings way, and neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left, vntill we be past thy borders.
Let us pass please in land your not we will pass in a field and in a vineyard and not we will drink water of a well [the] way of the king we will go not we will turn aside right and left until that we will pass through territory your.
18 And Edom answered him, Thou shalt not passe by mee, least I come out against thee with the sword.
And it said to him Edom not you will pass in me lest with the sword I should come out to meet you.
19 Then the children of Israel said vnto him, We will goe vp by the hie way: and if I and my cattell drinke of thy water, I will then pay for it: I will onely (without any harme) goe through on my feete.
And they said to him [the] people of Israel on the highway we will go up and if waters your we will drink I and livestock my and I will give price their only there not [is] a thing on feet my let me pass through.
20 Hee answered againe, Thou shalt not goe through. The Edom came out against him with much people, and with a mightie power.
And it said not you will pass through and it came out Edom to meet him with a people massive and with a hand strong.
21 Thus Edom denyed to giue Israel passage through his countrey: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
And it refused - Edom to permit Israel to pass in territory its and it turned aside Israel from on it.
22 And when the children of Israel with al the Congregation departed from Kadesh, they came vnto the mount Hor.
And they set out from Kadesh and they came [the] people of Israel all the congregation Hor the mountain.
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron in the mount Hor neere the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
And he said Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron at Hor the mountain on [the] border of [the] land of Edom saying.
24 Aaron shall be gathered vnto his people: for hee shall not enter into the lande, which I haue giuen vnto the children of Israel, because ye disobeyed my commandement at the water of Meribah.
He will be gathered Aaron to people his for not he will go into the land which I have given to [the] people of Israel on that you rebelled against mouth my to [the] waters of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his sonne, and bring them vp into the mount Hor,
Take Aaron and Eleazar son his and bring up them Hor the mountain.
26 And cause Aaron to put off his garmentes and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: for Aaron shall be gathered to his fathers, and shall die there.
And strip off Aaron garments his and you will clothe with them Eleazar son his and Aaron he will be gathered and he will die there.
27 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went vp into the mount Hor, in the sight of all the Congregation.
And he did Moses just as he had commanded Yahweh and they went up to Hor the mountain to [the] eyes of all the congregation.
28 And Moses put off Aarons clothes, and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: so Aaron dyed there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came downe from off the mount.
And he stripped off Moses Aaron garments his and he clothed with them Eleazar son his and he died Aaron there at [the] top of the mountain and he went down Moses and Eleazar from the mountain.
29 When al the Congregation sawe that Aaron was dead, al the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirtie dayes.
And they saw all the congregation that he had died Aaron and they wept for Aaron thirty day[s] all [the] house of Israel.
