Chapter 20
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.
2
And
there
was
no
water
for
the
congregation:
and
they
gathered
themselves
together
against
Moses
and
against
Aaron.
3
And
the
people
chode
with
Moses,
and
spake,
saying,
Would
God
that
we
had
died
when
our
brethren
died
before
the
Lord!
4
And
why
have
ye
brought
up
the
congregation
of
the
Lord
into
this
wilderness,
that
we
and
our
cattle
should
die
there?
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.
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.
7
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses,
saying,
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.
9
And
Moses
took
the
rod
from
before
the
Lord,
as
he
commanded
him.
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?
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.
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.
13
This
is
the
water
of
Meribah;
because
the
children
of
Israel
strove
with
the
Lord,
and
he
was
sanctified
in
them.
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:
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:
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:
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.
18
And
Edom
said
unto
him,
Thou
shalt
not
pass
by
me,
lest
I
come
out
against
thee
with
the
sword.
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
And
he
said,
Thou
shalt
not
go
through.
And
Edom
came
out
against
him
with
much
people,
and
with
a
strong
hand.
21
Thus
Edom
refused
to
give
Israel
passage
through
his
border:
wherefore
Israel
turned
away
from
him.
22
And
the
children
of
Israel,
even
the
whole
congregation,
journeyed
from
Kadesh,
and
came
unto
mount
Hor.
23
And
the
Lord
spake
unto
Moses
and
Aaron
in
mount
Hor,
by
the
coast
of
the
land
of
Edom,
saying,
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.
25
Take
Aaron
and
Eleazar
his
son,
and
bring
them
up
unto
mount
Hor:
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.
27
And
Moses
did
as
the
Lord
commanded:
and
they
went
up
into
mount
Hor
in
the
sight
of
all
the
congregation.
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.
29
And
when
all
the
congregation
saw
that
Aaron
was
dead,
they
mourned
for
Aaron
thirty
days,
even
all
the
house
of
Israel.
