Numbers 20 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Death of Miriam

(Exo 17:1–7 )

Num 20:1The children of Yisra'el, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Tzin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miryam died there, and was buried there.

Num 20:2

Num 20:2There was no water for the congregation: and they assembled themselves together against Moshe and against Aharon.

Num 20:3

Num 20:3The people strove with Moshe, and spoke, saying, Would that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!

Num 20:4

Num 20:4Why have you brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?

Num 20:5

Num 20:5Why have you made us to come up out of Mitzrayim, to bring us in to 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.

Num 20:6

Num 20:6Moshe and Aharon went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tent of meeting, and fell on their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.

Num 20:7

Num 20:7The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

The Water of Meribah

Num 20:8

Num 20:8Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aharon your brother, and speak you to the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their cattle drink.

Num 20:9

Num 20:9Moshe took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

Num 20:10

Num 20:10Moshe and Aharon gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, Hear now, you rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock?

Num 20:11

Num 20:11Moshe lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

Num 20:12

Num 20:12The LORD said to Moshe and Aharon, Because you didn't believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Yisra'el, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.

Num 20:13

Num 20:13These are the waters of Merivah; because the children of Yisra'el strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

Num 20:14

Num 20:14Moshe sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Yisra'el, You know all the travail that has happened to us:

Num 20:15

Num 20:15how our fathers went down into Mitzrayim, and we lived in Mitzrayim a long time; and the Mitzrim dealt ill with us, and our fathers:

Num 20:16

Num 20:16and when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Mitzrayim: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border.

Num 20:17

Num 20:17Please let us pass through your land: we will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go along the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.

Num 20:18

Num 20:18Edom said to him, You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.

Num 20:19

Num 20:19The children of Yisra'el said to him, We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price of it: let me only, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.

Num 20:20

Num 20:20He said, You shall not pass through. Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

Num 20:21

Num 20:21Thus Edom refused to give Yisra'el passage through his border: why Yisra'el turned away from him.

Num 20:22

Num 20:22They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Yisra'el, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

Death of Aaron

Num 20:23

Num 20:23The LORD spoke to Moshe and Aharon in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,

Num 20:24

Num 20:24Aharon shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Yisra'el, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Merivah.

Num 20:25

Num 20:25Take Aharon and El`azar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

Num 20:26

Num 20:26and strip Aharon of his garments, and put them on El`azar his son: and Aharon shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.

Num 20:27

Num 20:27Moshe did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

Num 20:28

Num 20:28Moshe stripped Aharon of his garments, and put them on El`azar his son; and Aharon died there on the top of the mountain: and Moshe and El`azar came down from the mountain.

Num 20:29

Num 20:29When all the congregation saw that Aharon was dead, they wept for Aharon thirty days, even all the house of Yisra'el.
