Berean Standard Bible
Then
came
the children
of
Israel
, even
the whole congregation ,
into
the desert
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 gathered 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 chode
with Moses ,
and spake,
saying
, Would
God
that
we had died
when
our brethren
died
before the LORD!
The people quarreled
with Moses and said
, “If
only
we had perished
with
our brothers
before the LORD!
And
why have ye
brought up
the congregation
of
the
LORD
into this wilderness ,
that
we
and our cattle
should
die there
?
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 tabernacle
of the
congregation,
and
they fell upon
their
faces:
and the glory of the LORD 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 the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
And the LORD said
to
Moses,
Take the rod,
and gather
thou
the assembly
together,
thou,
and Aaron
thy
brother ,
and
speak ye
unto
the rock before
their
eyes;
and it shall
give
forth
his
water ,
and
thou
shalt
bring forth
to
them
water
out of
the rock :
so
thou
shalt
give
the congregation and their beasts
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
the LORD
, 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 congregation
together
before
the rock, and he
said unto
them, Hear
now, ye
rebels ;
must we fetch
you 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 with
his
rod
he
smote
the rock twice :
and
the
water came
out abundantly
, and the congregation drank,
and their beasts
also
.
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
the LORD 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.
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. ”
This
is
the water
of Meribah ;
because
the children
of
Israel
strove
with the LORD, 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 have
dwelt
in
Egypt
a
long
time;
and
the Egyptians vexed
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
the LORD, 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:
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
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
.
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
by
me
, lest
I
come out against
thee
with the sword.
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
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
anything
else,
go
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 go
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
the
children
of
Israel
, even
the whole congregation ,
journeyed
from
Kadesh,
and
came unto
mount Hor.
After
they
had
set
out
from
Kadesh
, the whole congregation of
Israel
came to
Mount Hor.
And the
LORD
spake
unto
Moses
and
Aaron
in
mount Hor, by
the coast
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 water
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 the LORD 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 in
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
mourned
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
.
