Numbers 20:11-17

¹¹And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice; and much water came forth, and the congregation drank, and their cattle.

¹²And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you° have not believed me to sanctify me before the children of Israel, therefore you° shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

¹³This is the water of Strife, because the children of Israel spoke insolently before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

¹⁴And Moses sent messengers from Cades to the king of Edom, saying, Thus says your brother Israel; You know all the distress that has come upon us.

¹⁵And how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we sojourned in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians afflicted us and our fathers.

¹⁶And we cried to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt; and now we are in the city of Cades, at the extremity of your coasts.

¹⁷We will pass through your land: we will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your cistern: we will go by the king's highway; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed your borders.
