Berean Standard Bible
And
the children
of
Israel
, even
the whole congregation ,
came
into
the wilderness of Zin in
the
first
month:
and the
people
abode
in Kadesh ;
and
Miriam died there,
and was buried there
.
In
the first
month
, the whole congregation of
Israel
entered
the Wilderness of Zin and stayed
in Kadesh .
There
Miriam died and was buried.
And
there was no water for the congregation :
and
they assembled
themselves
together
against Moses and against
Aaron.
Now
there was no water for the congregation ,
so
they gathered
against Moses and Aaron.
And
the people strove
with Moses ,
and spake,
saying
, Would
that
we had died
when
our brethren
died
before Jehovah
!
The people quarreled
with Moses and said
, “If
only
we had perished
with
our brothers
before the
LORD
!
And
why have ye
brought the assembly of
Jehovah
into this wilderness ,
that
we
should
die
there,
we
and our beasts
?
Why have you
brought the LORD’s
assembly into this wilderness for
us
and our livestock
to
die
here
?
And
wherefore
have ye
made
us to
come
up out of Egypt ,
to bring us in
unto
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 .
Why
have you
led
us up out of Egypt to bring us to
this wretched
place? It is not
a
place of grain
, figs, vines, or pomegranates —and
there is
no
water to drink !”
And
Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto
the door
of
the tent of meeting ,
and
fell upon
their
faces:
and the glory of Jehovah
appeared unto
them.
Then
Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to
the entrance
to
the Tent of Meeting .
They
fell facedown,
and the glory of the
LORD
appeared to
them.
And Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses, saying,
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
Take the rod,
and assemble the congregation ,
thou,
and Aaron
thy
brother ,
and
speak ye
unto
the rock before
their
eyes
, that
it give
forth
its water ;
and
thou
shalt
bring forth
to
them
water
out of
the rock ;
so
thou
shalt
give
the congregation and their cattle
drink
.
“
Take the staff
and assemble the congregation .
You
and your
brother Aaron
are
to
speak to
the rock while
they
watch
, and
it will
pour
out
its water .
You
will
bring out water
from
the rock and
provide
drink
for
the congregation and their livestock
. ”
And
Moses took the rod
from before
Jehovah
, as he commanded him
.
So
Moses took the staff
from the
LORD’s
presence
, just
as he had
been
commanded.
And
Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together
before
the rock, and he
said unto
them, Hear
now, ye
rebels ;
shall
we bring you forth
water out of this rock?
Then
Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly in
front
of
the rock, and Moses
said to
them, “Listen
now, you
rebels ,
must
we bring you water out of this rock? ”
And
Moses lifted
up
his hand ,
and smote
the rock with his rod
twice:
and
water came
forth
abundantly
, and the congregation drank,
and their cattle
.
Then
Moses raised
his hand and struck
the rock twice
with his staff,
so
that
a
great
amount
of
water gushed
out
, and the congregation and their livestock
were
able
to
drink
.
And
Jehovah
said unto
Moses and Aaron, Because ye
believed
not in
me ,
to sanctify
me
in the eyes
of the children
of
Israel
, therefore
ye
shall
not bring this assembly into the land which
I have given them.
But
the
LORD
said to
Moses and Aaron, “
Because you
did
not trust
Me to show
My
holiness
in the sight
of the Israelites
, you
will
not bring this assembly into the land that
I have given them. ”
These are
the waters of Meribah ;
because
the children
of
Israel
strove
with Jehovah
, and he was
sanctified
in
them.
These were
the waters of Meribah ,
where
the Israelites
quarreled
with the
LORD
, and He showed
His
holiness
among
them.
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 :
From
Kadesh,
Moses sent messengers to
tell
the king of Edom, “This
is
what
your
brother Israel says:
You
know
all the hardship
that has
befallen us ,
how our fathers went down into
Egypt, and
we dwelt
in
Egypt
a
long
time;
and
the Egyptians dealt
ill
with
us ,
and our fathers :
how our fathers went down to
Egypt, where
we lived
many
years.
The Egyptians mistreated
us and our fathers ,
and when we cried unto
Jehovah
, he heard our voice, and
sent an angel, and brought us forth
out of Egypt :
and,
behold
, we are in Kadesh, a city in
the uttermost
of thy
border
.
and when we cried out
to
the
LORD
, He heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt .
Now
look
, we are in Kadesh, a city on
the edge
of your
territory
.
Let us pass ,
I
pray
thee,
through thy
land :
we will not pass
through field or through
vineyard, neither
will
we
drink of
the
water of
the
wells:
we will go
along
the king's
highway; we will not turn aside
to the right hand
nor
to the left ,
until we have passed thy
border
.
Please
let us pass through your
land .
We will not cut
through any
field or vineyard, or
drink water from
any
well.
We will stay
on
the King’s
Highway; we will not turn to the right or
to the left until we have passed through
your
territory
. ”
And
Edom said
unto
him
, Thou
shalt
not pass
through me
, lest
I
come out with the sword against
thee
.
But
Edom answered
, “You
may
not travel
through our
land
, or
we
will
come out and
confront
you
with the sword. ”
And
the
children
of
Israel
said
unto
him,
We will go
up
by
the highway;
and if we drink of
thy
water, I
and
my
cattle,
then
will I
give
the
price
thereof:
let
me
only ,
without
`doing'
anything
`else',
pass through on my
feet
.
“
We will stay
on
the main
road,”
the
Israelites
replied,
“
and if we or
our
herds
drink your
water, we
will pay
for
it.
There
will
be
no
problem;
only let
us
pass through on foot
. ”
And
he
said
, Thou
shalt
not pass through. And Edom
came out against
him
with much
people,
and with
a strong hand.
But
Edom
insisted
, “You
may
not pass through. ”
And they
came out to
confront
the
Israelites
with a
large
army
and a strong hand.
Thus
Edom refused to give
Israel passage
through his
border:
wherefore
Israel turned away from him
.
So
Edom refused to allow
Israel to
pass
through their
territory,
and
Israel turned away from them
.
And
they journeyed
from Kadesh :
and
the
children
of
Israel
, even
the whole congregation ,
came unto
mount Hor.
After
they had
set
out
from Kadesh, the whole congregation of
Israel
came to
Mount Hor.
And Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses
and
Aaron
in
mount Hor, by
the border of the land of Edom, saying
,
And at
Mount Hor, near
the border of the land of Edom, the
LORD
said
to
Moses
and
Aaron
,
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 waters of Meribah.
“
Aaron will
be gathered to
his people; he will
not enter the land that
I have given the Israelites
, because both
of
you
rebelled against My command
at the waters of Meribah.
Take Aaron and Eleazar
his son ,
and bring them up unto
mount Hor ;
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar
and bring them up Mount Hor .
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.
Remove
Aaron’s
priestly
garments and put them on
his son Eleazar.
Aaron will
be gathered to
his people and will
die there. ”
And
Moses did as Jehovah
commanded :
and they went
up
into
mount Hor in the sight of all
the congregation.
So
Moses did as the
LORD
had
commanded ,
and they climbed
Mount Hor in the sight of the whole
congregation.
And
Moses stripped
Aaron
of
his
garments ,
and put them upon
Eleazar
his son ;
and
Aaron died there on the
top of the mount:
and
Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount
.
After
Moses had
removed
Aaron’s
garments and put them on
his son Eleazar,
Aaron died there on top of the mountain.
Then
Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain
.
And
when all
the congregation saw that Aaron was
dead,
they
wept
for
Aaron
thirty
days
, even
all
the house of Israel.
When the whole
congregation saw that Aaron had
died
, the entire
house of Israel mourned
for
him
thirty
days
.
