Numbers [In the desert] 20:16-26

¹⁶When we cried to Adonai , he sh'ma ·heard obeyed· our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt Abode of slavery. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.

¹⁷“Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from 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.”

¹⁸Edom Red said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”

¹⁹The children of Israel God prevails said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”

²⁰He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom Red came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.

²¹Thus Edom Red refused to give Israel God prevails passage through his border, so Israel God prevails turned away from him. (RY:3, LY:5)

²²They traveled from Kadesh: and the children of Israel God prevails, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

²³Adonai spoke to Moses Drawn out and Aaron Light-bringer in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom Red, saying,

²⁴“Aaron Light-bringer shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel God prevails, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah Quarreling.

²⁵Take Aaron Light-bringer and Eleazar Help of God his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

²⁶and strip Aaron Light-bringer of his garments, and put them on Eleazar Help of God his son. Aaron Light-bringer shall be taken, and shall die there.”
