Num 20:10 and Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, "Listen now, you rebels; shall we bring forth water for you out of this rock?"
Num 20:11 Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank.
Num 20:12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."
Num 20:13 Those were the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contended with the LORD, and He proved Himself holy among them.
Num 20:14 ¶ From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom: "Thus your brother Israel has said, 'You know all the hardship that has befallen us;
Num 20:15 that our fathers went down to Egypt, and we stayed in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians treated us and our fathers badly.
Num 20:16 'But when we cried out to the LORD, He heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out from Egypt; now behold, we are at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.
Num 20:17 'Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard; we will not even drink water from a well. We will go along the king's highway, not turning to the right or left, until we pass through your territory.'"
Num 20:18 ¶ Edom, however, said to him, "You shall not pass through us, or I will come out with the sword against you."
Num 20:19 Again, the sons of Israel said to him, "We will go up by the highway, and if I and my livestock do drink any of your water, then I will pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, nothing else."
Num 20:20 But he said, "You shall not pass through." And Edom came out against him with a heavy force and with a strong hand.
Num 20:21 Thus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.
Num 20:22 ¶ Now when they set out from Kadesh, the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
Num 20:23 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
Num 20:24 "Aaron will be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
Num 20:25 "Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up to Mount Hor;
Num 20:26 and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar. So Aaron will be gathered to his people, and will die there."
Num 20:27 So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
Num 20:28 After Moses had stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
Num 20:29 When all the congregation saw that Aaron had died, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days.
