Young's Literal Translation
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
the sons
of Israel come
in,
--
all
the company
--
to
the
wilderness of Zin ,
in
the
first
month,
and the
people
abide
in Kadesh ,
and
Miriam dieth
there,
and is
buried there
.
Now
there was
no water for the congregation
, so
they gathered
against Moses and Aaron .
And
there hath
been
no water for the company
, and
they are
assembled
against Moses ,
and against
Aaron ,
The people quarreled
with Moses and said
, “If
only
we had perished
with
our brothers
before the
LORD
!
and
the people strive
with Moses ,
and speak
, saying,
`And
oh
that
we had expired
when
our brethren
expired
before Jehovah
!
Why have you
brought the LORD’s
assembly into
this wilderness for
us
and
our
livestock
to die here
?
and
why have ye
brought in
the assembly of
Jehovah
unto
this wilderness to die there,
we
and
our
beasts
?
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
why hast
thou
brought
us up out of Egypt to bring us in
unto
this evil
place? no
place of seed
, and
fig
, and
vine
, and pomegranate;
and
water
there is none
to drink .
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
Moses and Aaron go
in
from the presence of the assembly unto
the opening
of
the tent of meeting, and fall
on
their
faces,
and
the honour
of Jehovah
is
seen
by
them.
And the
LORD
said
to
Moses,
And Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses, saying,
“
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
. ”
`
Take the rod,
and assemble the company,
thou
and Aaron thy
brother;
and
ye
have
spoken
unto
the rock before
their
eyes
, and it hath
given
its water ,
and
thou
hast
brought
out to
them
water from the rock ,
and hast
watered
the company,
and their beasts
. '
So
Moses took
the staff
from the
LORD’s
presence
, just
as he had
been
commanded .
And
Moses taketh
the rod
from before
Jehovah
, as He hath
commanded him,
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 and Aaron assemble
the assembly unto
the
front of the rock, and he
saith
to them, `Hear
, I
pray
you ,
O
rebels, from
this
rock
do
we bring out
to
you water? '
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
Moses lifteth
up
his hand ,
and smiteth
the rock with his rod
twice;
and
much
water cometh
out, and the company
drink ,
also
their
beasts
.
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. ”
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Moses ,
and unto
Aaron, `
Because ye
have
not believed
in
Me to sanctify
Me
before
the eyes
of the sons
of
Israel
, therefore
ye
do
not bring in
this assembly unto
the land which
I have given to
them. '
These were
the
waters of Meribah, where
the Israelites
quarreled
with the
LORD
, and He showed
His
holiness
among
them.
These `are'
waters of Meribah, because
the sons
of
Israel
have
`striven'
with Jehovah
, and He is
sanctified
upon
them.
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 ,
And
Moses sendeth
messengers from
Kadesh
unto
the king of Edom, `Thus
said
thy
brother Israel ,
Thou
--
thou
hast
known
all the travail
which
hath
found
us ;
how
our fathers went
down to Egypt, where
we lived
many years.
The Egyptians mistreated
us and our fathers ,
that
our fathers go
down to Egypt, and
we dwell
in
Egypt
many days,
and
the Egyptians do
evil
to
us and to
our fathers ;
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
.
and we cry
unto
Jehovah
, and
He heareth
our voice, and
sendeth
a
messenger
, and is
bringing
us out of Egypt ;
and
lo
, we `
are '
in Kadesh, a city `in'
the extremity
of 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
. ”
Let us pass over,
we
pray
thee,
through thy
land ;
we pass
not over
through a
field ,
or through
a
vineyard, nor
do
we
drink waters
of
a
well; the
way
of
the
king
we go,
we
turn not
aside
--
right or left --
till
that
we pass
over
thy
border
. '
But
Edom answered
, “You
may
not travel
through our
land
, or
we
will
come
out
and
confront
you
with the
sword. ”
And
Edom saith
unto
him
, `Thou
dost
not pass
over
through me
, lest
with sword I
come
out
to
meet
thee
. '
“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
the sons
of
Israel
say
unto
him
, `In
the highway
we
go
, and if of
thy
waters
we drink --
I
and
my
cattle
--
then
I
have
given
their
price
; only (it
is
nothing)
on my
feet
I
pass
over
. '
But
Edom
insisted
, “You
may
not pass through.”
And they
came
out to confront
the
Israelites
with a
large
army
and a strong hand .
And
he
saith
, `Thou
dost
not pass over;'
and Edom
cometh
out to meet
him
with much
people,
and with
a strong hand ;
So
Edom refused
to allow
Israel to pass through their
territory
, and Israel turned
away
from them
.
and
Edom refuseth
to suffer
Israel to pass over
through his
border
, and Israel turneth
aside
from off
him
.
After
they
had
set
out
from
Kadesh,
the whole
congregation
of Israel came
to
Mount Hor .
And
the sons
of Israel ,
the
whole
company,
journey
from
Kadesh,
and
come
in
unto
mount Hor ,
And at
Mount Hor, near
the border of the land of Edom, the
LORD
said
to
Moses
and
Aaron
,
and Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Moses
and
unto
Aaron
in
mount Hor, on
the border of the land of Edom, saying
,
“
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.
`
Aaron is
gathered unto
his people ,
for
he doth
not go
in
unto
the land which
I have given to
the sons
of
Israel
, because that
ye
provoked
My mouth
at the waters of Meribah.
Take Aaron and his son Eleazar
and bring
them up Mount Hor .
`
Take Aaron and Eleazar
his son ,
and cause
them to
go
up mount Hor ,
Remove
Aaron’s
priestly
garments and put
them on
his son Eleazar.
Aaron will
be
gathered to
his
people
and will
die there. ”
and
strip
Aaron
of
his
garments ,
and thou
hast
clothed
`with'
them Eleazar
his son ,
and
Aaron is
gathered ,
and doth
die there. '
So
Moses did
as the
LORD
had
commanded, and they climbed
Mount Hor in
the sight
of the whole
congregation.
And
Moses doth
as Jehovah
hath
commanded, and they go
up
unto
mount Hor before
the eyes
of all
the company,
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
Moses strippeth
Aaron
of
his
garments ,
and clotheth
with
them Eleazar
his son, and
Aaron dieth
there on the
top of the mount;
and Moses
cometh
down --
Eleazar
also
--
from the mount,
When
the whole
congregation
saw
that Aaron had
died
, the entire
house of Israel mourned
for
him
thirty
days
.
and
all
the company
see
that Aaron hath
expired
, and
they
bewail
Aaron
thirty
days
--
all
the house of Israel.
