Numbers 20

1 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.

The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. Miriam died there, and was buried there.

2 And not it belonged water to the congregation and they assembled on Moses and on Aaron.

There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

3 And it quarreled the people with Moses and they said saying and if we had died when died brothers our before Yahweh.

The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!

4 And why? have you brought [the] assembly of Yahweh into the wilderness this to die there we and livestock our.

Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?

5 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.

Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.”

6 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.

Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to them.

7 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

8 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.

“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”

9 And he took Moses the rod from to before Yahweh just as he had commanded him.

Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

10 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.

Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”

11 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.

Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.

12 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.

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

13 They [were] [the] waters of Meribah where they quarreled [the] people of Israel with Yahweh and he showed himself holy among them.

These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

14 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.

Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to us;

15 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.

how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers.

16 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.

When we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.

17 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.

“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”

18 And it said to him Edom not you will pass in me lest with the sword I should come out to meet you.

Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”

19 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.

The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”

20 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.

He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

21 And it refused - Edom to permit Israel to pass in territory its and it turned aside Israel from on it.

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.

22 And they set out from Kadesh and they came [the] people of Israel all the congregation Hor the mountain.

They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

23 And he said Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron at Hor the mountain on [the] border of [the] land of Edom saying.

The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,

24 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.

“Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.

25 Take Aaron and Eleazar son his and bring up them Hor the mountain.

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

26 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.

and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”

27 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.

Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

28 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.

Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

29 And they saw all the congregation that he had died Aaron and they wept for Aaron thirty day[s] all [the] house of Israel.

When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
