Numbers 20

Death of Miriam

1

Then the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, the wholeh3605 congregationh5712, cameh935 to the  awildernessh4057b of Zinh6790 in the firsth7223 monthh2320; and the peopleh5971a stayedh3427 at Kadeshh6946. Now Miriamh4813 diedh4191 thereh8033 and was buriedh6912 thereh8033.

2

 aThere was noh3808 waterh4325 for the congregationh5712,  band they assembledh6950 themselves againsth5921 Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175.

3

 aThe peopleh5971a thus contendedh7378 with Mosesh4872 and spokeh559, sayingh559, " bIfh3863 onlyh3863 we had perishedh1478  cwhen our brothersh251 perishedh1478 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068!

4

aWhyh4100 then have you broughth935 the LORD'Sh3068 assemblyh6951 into thish2088 wildernessh4057b, for us and our beastsh1165 to dieh4191  1hereh8033?

5

"Whyh4100 have you made us comeh5927 up from Egypth4714, to bringh935 us in to thish2088 wretchedh7451a placeh4725?  aIt is not a placeh4725 of  1grainh2233 or figsh8384 or vinesh1612 or pomegranatesh7416, norh369 is thereh369 waterh4325 to drinkh8354."

6

Then Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175 cameh935 in from the presenceh6440 of the assemblyh6951 to the doorwayh6607 of the tenth168 of meetingh4150 and  afellh5307 on their facesh6440. Then the gloryh3519b of the LORDh3068 appearedh7200 to them;

7

and the LORDh3068 spokeh1696 to Mosesh4872, sayingh559,

The Water of Meribah

8

"Takeh3947  athe rodh4294; and you and your brotherh251 Aaronh175 assembleh6950 the congregationh5712 and speakh1696 to the rockh5553 before their eyesh5869, that it may yieldh5414 its waterh4325. You shall thus bringh3318 forthh3318 waterh4325 for them out of the rockh5553 and let the congregationh5712 and their beastsh1165 drinkh8248."

9

So Mosesh4872 tookh3947 the rodh4294  afrom beforeh4480h6440 the LORDh3068, justh3512c as He had commandedh6680 him;

10

and Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175 gatheredh6950 the assemblyh6951 beforeh413h6440 the rockh5553. And he saidh559 to them, " aListenh8085 nowh4994, you rebelsh4784; shall we bringh3318 forthh3318 waterh4325 for you out of thish2088 rockh5553?"

11

Then Mosesh4872 liftedh7311 up his handh3027 and struckh5221 the rockh5553 twiceh6471 with his rodh4294; and  awaterh4325 cameh3318 forthh3318 abundantlyh7227a, and the congregationh5712 and their beastsh1165 drankh8354.

12

But the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175, " aBecauseh3282 you have not believedh539 Me, to treath6942 Me as holyh6942 in the sighth5869 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, thereforeh3651 you shall not bringh935 thish2088 assemblyh6951 into the landh776 whichh834 I have givenh5414 them."

13

Thoseh1992a were the watersh4325 of  1 aMeribahh4809,  2becauseh834 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 contendedh7378 with the LORDh3068, and He provedh6942 Himself holyh6942 among them.

14

From Kadeshh6946 Mosesh4872 then senth7971 messengersh4397 to  athe kingh4428 of Edomh112b: "Thush3541 your brotherh251 Israelh3478 has saidh559, `You  bknowh3045 allh3605 the hardshiph8513 that has befallenh4672 us;

15

that our fathersh1 wenth3381 downh3381 to Egypth4714, and we stayedh3427 in Egypth4714 a longh7227a timeh3117, and the Egyptiansh4714 treatedh7489a us and our fathersh1 badlyh7489a.

16

`But  awhen we criedh6817 out to the LORDh3068, He heardh8085 our voiceh6963 and senth7971  ban angelh4397 and broughth3318 us out from Egypth4714; now beholdh2009, we are at Kadeshh6946, a townh5892b on the edgeh7097a of your territoryh1366.

17

`Pleaseh4994  alet us passh5674a through your landh776. We will not passh5674a throughh5674a fieldh7704 or through vineyardh3754; we will not even drinkh8354 waterh4325 from a wellh875. We will goh1980 along the king'sh4428 highwayh1870, not turningh5186 to the righth3225 or lefth8040, untilh5704h834 we passh5674a throughh5674a your territoryh1366.' "

18

 aEdomh112b, however, saidh559 to him, "You shall not passh5674a throughh5674a  1us, orh6435 I will comeh3318 out with the swordh2719 againsth7122 you."

19

Again, the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 saidh559 to him, "We will goh5927 up by the highwayh4546, and ifh518 I and  amy livestockh4735 do drinkh8354 any of your waterh4325,  bthen I will  1payh5414 its priceh4377. Let me onlyh7534 passh5674a throughh5674a on my feeth7272,  2nothingh369h1697 else."

20

But he saidh559, " aYou shall not passh5674a throughh5674a." And Edomh112b cameh3318 out againsth7122 him with a heavyh3515  1forceh5971a and with a strongh2389 handh3027.

21

 aThus Edomh112b refusedh3985 to allowh5414 Israelh3478 to passh5674a throughh5674a his territoryh1366;  bso Israelh3478 turnedh5186 awayh5186 from him.

22

Now when they seth5265 out from  aKadeshh6946, the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, the wholeh3605 congregationh5712, cameh935 to Mounth2022 Horh2023.

Death of Aaron

23

Then the LORDh3068 spokeh559 to Mosesh4872 and Aaronh175 at  aMounth2022 Horh2023 by the borderh1366 of the landh776 of Edomh112b, sayingh559,

24

"Aaronh175 will be  agatheredh622 to his peopleh5971b; for he shall not enterh935 the landh776 whichh834 I have givenh5414 to the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478, becauseh5921h834  byou rebelledh4784 againsth854 My  1commandh6310 at the watersh4325 of Meribahh4809.

25

"Takeh3947 Aaronh175 and his sonh1121  aEleazarh499 and bringh5927 them up to Mounth2022 Horh2023;

26

and striph6584 Aaronh175 of his garmentsh899b and puth3847 them on his sonh1121 Eleazarh499. So Aaronh175 will be  agatheredh622 to his people, and will dieh4191 thereh8033."

27

So Mosesh4872 didh6213a justh3512c as the LORDh3068 had commandedh6680, and they wenth5927 up to Mounth2022 Horh2023 in the sighth5869 of allh3605 the congregationh5712.

28

After Mosesh4872 had strippedh6584 Aaronh175 of his garmentsh899b and  aputh3847 them on his sonh1121 Eleazarh499,  bAaronh175 diedh4191 thereh8033 on the mountainh2022 toph7218. Then Mosesh4872 and Eleazarh499 cameh3381 downh3381 from the mountainh2022.

29

When allh3605 the congregationh5712 sawh7200 that Aaronh175 had diedh1478, allh3605 the househ1004 of Israelh3478 wepth1058 for Aaronh175 thirtyh7970  adaysh3117.
