his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation
and their beasts drink.
9
And Moses took the rod from before the L
ORD
, as he commanded him.
10
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them,
Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11
And Moses lifted up his hand,
and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation
drank, and their beasts
also.
12
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in
the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which
I have given them.
13
This
is
the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the
L
ORD
, and he was sanctified in them.
14
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel,
Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
15
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and
we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
16
And when we
cried unto the L
ORD
, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt:
and, behold, we
are
in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
17
Let us pass, I pray thee,
through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we
drink
of
the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s
high
way, we will not turn to the right hand
nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18
And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass
by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19
And the children of Israel said unto him, We
will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only,
without
doing
any thing
else,
go through on my feet.
20
And he said, Thou shalt not go through.
And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
21
Thus Edom refused
to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
22
And the children of Israel,
even
the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came
unto mount Hor.
23
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the
land of Edom, saying,
24
Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the
land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the
water of Meribah.
25
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
26
And
strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered
unto
his people,
and shall die there.
27
And Moses did as the L
ORD
commanded: and they went up into
mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and
put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar
came down from the mount.
29
And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they
mourned for Aaron thirty days,
even
all the house of Israel.
