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 20:26 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.
Num 21:1 When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.
Num 21:2 So Israel made a vow to the LORD and said, "If You will indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities."
Num 21:3 The LORD heard the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites; then they utterly destroyed them and their cities. Thus the name of the place was called Hormah.
Num 21:4 ¶ Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient because of the journey.
Num 21:5 The people spoke against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food."
Num 21:6 The LORD sent fiery serpents among the people and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died.
Num 21:7 So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and you; intercede with the LORD, that He may remove the serpents from us." And Moses interceded for the people.
Num 21:8 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live."
