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.

And there was no water
for the congregation:
and they gathered
themselves together against Moses
and against Aaron.
And the people
chode
with Moses,
and spake,
saying,
Would God that
we had died
when our brethren
died
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?
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.

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.
And the LORD
spake
unto Moses,
saying,
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.

unto them, Hear

you water

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.
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.

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:

How our fathers
went down
into Egypt,
and we have dwelt
in Egypt
a long
time;
and the Egyptians
vexed
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:

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.

And Edom
said
unto him, Thou shalt not pass
by me, lest I come out
against
thee 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 any thing
else, go through
on my feet.
And he said,
Thou shalt not go through.
And Edom
came out
against
him with much
people,
and with a strong
hand.
Thus Edom
refused
to give
Israel
passage
through his border:
wherefore Israel
turned away
from him.
And the children
of Israel,
even the whole congregation,
journeyed
from Kadesh,
and came
unto mount
Hor.
And the LORD
spake
unto Moses
and Aaron
in mount
Hor,
by the coast
of the land
of Edom,
saying,
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.
Take
Aaron
and Eleazar
his son,
and bring them up
unto 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.
And Moses
did
as the LORD
commanded:
and they went up
into mount
Hor
in the sight
of all the 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.

And when all the congregation
