ASV_Strong : Numbers 20
1. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], even the whole congregation[H5712], came[H935] into the wilderness[H4057] of Zin[H6790] in the first[H7223] month[H2320]: and the people[H5971] abode[H3427] in Kadesh[H6946]; and Miriam[H4813] died[H4191] there[H6912], and was buried there.
2. And there was no water[H4325] for the congregation[H5712]: and they assembled[H6950] themselves together against Moses[H4872] and against Aaron[H175].
3. And the people[H5971] strove[H7378] with Moses[H4872], and spake[H559], saying[H559], Would that[H3863] we had died[H1478] when our brethren[H251] died[H1478] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068]!
4. And why have ye brought[H935] the assembly[H6951] of Jehovah[H3068] into this wilderness[H4057], that we should die[H4191] there[H1165], we and our beasts?
5. And wherefore have ye made us to come up[H5927] out of Egypt[H4714], to bring[H935] us in unto this evil[H7451] place[H4725]? it is no place[H4725] of seed[H2233], or of figs[H8384], or of vines[H1612], or of pomegranates[H7416]; neither is there any water[H4325] to drink[H8354].
6. And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] went[H935] from the presence[H6440] of the assembly[H6951] unto the door[H6607] of the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], and fell[H5307] upon their faces[H6440]: and the glory[H3519] of Jehovah[H3068] appeared unto them[H7200].
7. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
8. Take[H3947] the rod[H4294], and assemble[H6950] the congregation[H5712], thou[H175], and Aaron thy brother[H251], and speak[H1696] ye unto the rock[H5553] before their eyes[H5869], that it give forth[H5414] its water[H4325]; and thou shalt bring forth[H5414] to them water[H4325] out[H3318] of the rock[H5553]; so thou shalt give[H8248] the congregation[H5712] and their cattle drink[H8248].
9. And Moses[H4872] took[H3947] the rod[H4294] from before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068], as he commanded him[H6680].
10. And Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] gathered[H6950] the assembly[H6951] together before[H6440] the rock[H5553], and he said[H559] unto them[H8085], Hear now[H4784], ye rebels; shall we bring[H3318] you forth water[H4325] out of this rock[H5553]?
11. And Moses[H4872] lifted up[H7311] his hand[H3027], and smote[H5221] the rock[H5553] with his rod[H4294] twice[H6471]: and water[H4325] came forth[H3318] abundantly[H7227], and the congregation[H5712] drank[H8354], and their cattle[H1165].
12. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175], Because ye believed[H539] not in me[H6942], to sanctify me in the eyes[H5869] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], therefore ye shall not bring[H935] this assembly[H6951] into the land[H776] which I have given them[H5414].
13. These are[H1992] the waters[H4325] of Meribah[H4809]; because the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] strove[H7378] with Jehovah[H3068], and he was sanctified in them[H6942].
14. And Moses[H4872] sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] from Kadesh[H6946] unto the king[H4428] of Edom[H123], Thus saith[H559] thy brother[H251] Israel[H3478], Thou knowest[H3045] all the travail[H8513] that hath befallen us[H4672]:
15. how our fathers[H1] went down[H3381] into Egypt[H4714], and we dwelt[H3427] in Egypt[H4714] a long[H7227] time[H3117]; and the Egyptians[H4714] dealt ill[H7489] with us[H1], and our fathers:
16. and when we cried[H6817] unto Jehovah[H3068], he heard[H8085] our voice[H6963], and sent[H7971] an angel[H4397], and brought us forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714]: and[H6946], behold, we are in Kadesh, a city[H5892] in the uttermost[H7097] of thy border[H1366].
17. Let us pass[H5674], I pray thee[H776], through thy land: we will not pass[H5674] through field[H7704] or through vineyard[H3754], neither will we drink[H8354] of the water[H4325] of the wells[H875]: we will go[H3212] along the king[H4428]'s highway[H1870]; we will not turn[H5186] aside to the right hand[H3225] nor to the left[H8040], until we have passed[H5674] thy border[H1366].
18. And Edom[H123] said[H559] unto him[H5674], Thou shalt not pass through me[H3318], lest I come out with the sword[H2719] against thee[H7125].
19. And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] said[H559] unto him[H5927], We will go up by the highway[H4546]; and if we drink[H8354] of thy water[H4325], I and my cattle[H4735], then will I give[H5414] the price thereof[H1697]: let me only, without doing anything else[H5674], pass through on my feet[H7272].
20. And he said[H559], Thou shalt not pass through[H5674]. And Edom[H123] came out[H3318] against[H7125] him with much[H3515] people[H5971], and with a strong[H2389] hand[H3027].
21. Thus Edom[H123] refused[H3985] to give[H5414] Israel[H3478] passage[H5674] through his border[H1366]: wherefore Israel[H3478] turned away from him[H5186].
22. And they journeyed[H5265] from Kadesh[H6946]: and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], even the whole congregation[H5712], came[H935] unto mount[H2022] Hor[H2023].
23. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872] and Aaron[H175] in mount[H2022] Hor[H2023], by the border[H1366] of the land[H776] of Edom[H123], saying[H559],
24. Aaron[H175] shall be gathered[H622] unto his people[H5971]; for he shall not enter[H935] into the land[H776] which I have given[H5414] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], because ye rebelled against[H4784] my word[H6310] at the waters[H4325] of Meribah[H4809].
25. Take[H3947] Aaron[H175] and Eleazar[H499] his son[H1121], and bring them up[H5927] unto mount[H2022] Hor[H2023];
26. and strip[H6584] Aaron[H175] of his garments[H899], and put[H3847] them upon Eleazar[H499] his son[H1121]: and Aaron[H175] shall be gathered[H622] unto his people[H4191], and shall die there.
27. And Moses[H4872] did[H6213] as Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680]: and they went up[H5927] into mount[H2022] Hor[H2023] in the sight[H5869] of all the congregation[H5712].
28. And Moses[H4872] stripped[H6584] Aaron[H175] of his garments[H899], and put[H3847] them upon Eleazar[H499] his son[H1121]; and Aaron[H175] died[H4191] there on the top[H7218] of the mount[H2022]: and Moses[H4872] and Eleazar[H499] came down[H3381] from the mount[H2022].
29. And when all the congregation[H5712] saw[H7200] that Aaron[H175] was dead[H1478], they wept[H1058] for Aaron[H175] thirty[H7970] days[H3117], even all the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478].
