Death of Miriam

(Exo 17:1–7 )
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:1 - Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people stayed at Kadesh. Now Miriam died there and was buried there.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:2 - There was no water for the congregation, and they assembled themselves against Moses and Aaron.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:3 - The people thus contended with Moses and spoke, saying, “If only we had perished when our brothers perished before the LORD!
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:4 - “Why then have you brought the LORDS assembly into this wilderness, for us and our beasts to die [fn]here?
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:5 - “Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us in to this wretched place? It is not a place of [fn]grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, nor is there water to drink.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:6 - Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them;
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:7 - and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

The Water of Meribah

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:8 - “Take the rod; and you and your brother Aaron assemble the congregation and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it may yield its water. You shall thus bring forth water for them out of the rock and let the congregation and their beasts drink.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:9 - So Moses took the rod from before the LORD, just as He had commanded him;
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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?”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:13 - Those were the waters of [fn]Meribah, [fn]because the sons of Israel contended with the LORD, and He proved Himself holy among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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;
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.’”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:18 - Edom, however, said to him, “You shall not pass through [fn]us, or I will come out with the sword against you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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 [fn]pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, [fn]nothing else.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:20 - But he said, “You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against him with a heavy [fn]force and with a strong hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:21 - Thus Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:22 - Now when they set out from Kadesh, the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

Death of Aaron

Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:23 - Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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 [fn]command at the waters of Meribah.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:25 - “Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up to Mount Hor;
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.”
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxNum 20:29 - When all the congregation saw that Aaron had died, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days.
