Numbers 20:16-26

¹⁶and when we cried unto the LORD, He heard our voice, and sent an angel, and brought us forth out of Egypt; and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border.

¹⁷Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy 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 thy border.'

¹⁸And Edom said unto him: 'Thou shalt not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against thee.'

¹⁹And the children of Israel said unto him: 'We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of thy water, I and my cattle, then will I give the price thereof; let me only pass through on my feet; there is no hurt.'

²⁰And he said: 'Thou shalt not pass through.' And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

²¹Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border; wherefore Israel turned away from him.

²²And they journeyed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto mount Hor.

²³And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying:

²⁴'Aaron shall be 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 waters of Meribah.

²⁵Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor.

²⁶And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.'
