Num 20:8 Take the (d) 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.

(d) With which you did miracles in Egypt and divided the sea.


Num 20:10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; (e) must we fetch you water out of this rock?

Num 20:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to (f) 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.

Num 20:14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of (i) Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

(i) Because Jacob or Israel was Esau's brother, who was called Edom.


Num 20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel (k) turned away from him.

(k) To pass by another way.


Num 20:24 Aaron shall be (l) 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.
