Numbers 20

{20:1} 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. {20:2} And there was no water for the
congregation: and they gathered themselves together against
Moses and against Aaron. {20:3} And the people chode
with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had
died when our brethren died before the LORD! {20:4} And
why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into
this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
{20:5} 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. {20:6} 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.
{20:7} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {20:8}
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. {20:9} And Moses
took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
{20:10} 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? {20:11}
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.
]{20:12} 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.
{20:13} This [is] the water of Meribah; because the children
of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in
them.
{20:14} 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: {20:15} How
our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in
Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our
fathers: {20:16} 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: {20:17} 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. {20:18} And Edom said unto him, Thou
shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the
sword. {20:19} 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]
any thing [else,] go through on my feet. {20:20} And he
said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out
against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
{20:21} Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through
his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
{20:22} And the children of Israel, [even] the whole
congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto
mount Hor. {20:23} And the LORD spake unto Moses and
Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom,
saying, {20:24} 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. {20:25} Take Aaron and Eleazar his
son, and bring them up unto mount Hor: {20:26} 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. {20:27} And Moses did as the LORD commanded:
and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the
congregation. {20:28} 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. {20:29} And when all the
congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for
Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
