And not it belonged water to the congregation and they assembled on Moses and on Aaron.
3 and the people strive with Moses and speak, saying, “And oh that we had expired when our brothers expired before YHWH!
And it quarreled the people with Moses and they said saying and if we had died when died brothers our before Yahweh.
4 And why have you brought in the assembly of YHWH to this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts?
And why? have you brought [the] assembly of Yahweh into the wilderness this to die there we and livestock our.
5 And why have you brought us up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? [It is] not a place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and there is no water to drink.”
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.

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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
8 “Take the rod and assemble the congregation—you and your brother Aaron—and you have spoken to the rock before their eyes, and it has given its water, and you have brought out water to them from the rock, and have watered the congregation and their beasts.”
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.

12 And YHWH says to Moses and to Aaron, “Because you have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you do not bring in this assembly to the land which I have given to 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 These [are] the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have “striven” with YHWH, and He is sanctified among them.
They [were] [the] waters of Meribah where they quarreled [the] people of Israel with Yahweh and he showed himself holy among them.

15 that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt [for] many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to 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 then we cry to YHWH, and He hears our voice, and sends a Messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and behold, we [are] in Kadesh, a city [in] the extremity of your 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 Please let us pass over through your land; we do not pass over through a field or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; we go the way of the king, we do not turn aside [to] the right or left until we pass over your border.”
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 says to him, “You do not pass over through me, lest I come out to meet you 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 And the sons of Israel say to him, “We go in the highway, and if we drink of your waters—I and my livestock—then I have given their price; only, let me pass over on my feet, nothing [more].”
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 And he says, “You do not pass over”; and Edom comes out to meet him with many people and with a strong hand;
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 and Edom refuses to permit Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turns aside from off him.

24 “Aaron is gathered to his people, for he does not go into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because that you provoked My mouth at the waters 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 his son Eleazar, and cause them to go up Mount Hor,

26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and you have clothed his son Eleazar [with] them, and Aaron is gathered, and dies there.”
