Numbers 20 — Scripture text (King James Version)
Then came935 the children1121 of 3478, even the whole congregation5712, into the desert4057 of Zin6790 in the first7223 month2320: and the people5971 abode3427 in Kadesh6946; and 4813 died4191 there, and was buried6912 there. And there was no water4325 for the congregation5712: and they gathered6950 themselves together against 4872 and against 175. And the people5971 chode7378 with 4872, and spake559, saying559, Would God that3863 we had died1478 when our brethren251 died1478 before6440 the LORD3068! And why have ye brought up935 the congregation6951 of the LORD3068 into this wilderness4057, that we and our cattle1165 should die4191 there? And wherefore have ye made us to come up5927 out of 4714, to bring935 us in unto this evil7451 place4725? it is no place4725 of seed2233, or of figs8384, or of vines1612, or of pomegranates7416; neither is there any water4325 to drink8354. And 4872 and 175 went935 from the presence6440 of the assembly6951 unto the door6607 of the 168 of the congregation4150, and they fell5307 upon their faces6440: and the 3519 of the LORD3068 appeared7200 unto them. And the LORD3068 spake1696 unto 4872, saying559, Take3947 the rod4294, and gather6950 thou the assembly5712 together, thou, and 175 thy brother251, and speak1696 ye unto the rock5553 before their eyes5869; and it shall give forth5414 his water4325, and thou shalt bring forth3318 to them water4325 out of the rock5553: so thou shalt give8248 the congregation5712 and their beasts1165 drink8248. And 4872 took3947 the rod4294 from before6440 the LORD3068, as he commanded6680 him. And 4872 and 175 gathered6950 the congregation6951 together before6440 the rock5553, and he said559 unto them, Hear8085 now, ye rebels4784; must we fetch3318 you water4325 out of this rock5553? And 4872 lifted up7311 his hand3027, and with his rod4294 he smote5221 the rock5553 twice6471: and the water4325 came out3318 abundantly7227, and the congregation5712 drank8354, and their beasts1165 also. And the LORD3068 spake559 unto 4872 and 175, Because ye believed539 me not, to sanctify6942 me in the eyes5869 of the children1121 of 3478, therefore ye shall not bring935 this congregation6951 into the land776 which I have given5414 them. This is 1992 the water4325 of 4809; because the children1121 of 3478 strove7378 with the LORD3068, and he was sanctified6942 in them. : that is, Strife And 4872 sent7971 messengers4397 from Kadesh6946 unto the king4428 of 123, Thus saith559 thy brother251 3478, Thou knowest3045 all the travail8513 that hath befallen4672 us: befallen: Heb. found us How our fathers1 went down3381 into 4714, and we have dwelt3427 in 4714 a long7227 time3117; and the 4714 vexed7489 us, and our fathers1: And when we cried6817 unto the LORD3068, he heard8085 our voice6963, and sent7971 an angel4397, and hath brought us forth3318 out of 4714: and, behold, we are in Kadesh6946, a city5892 in the uttermost7097 of thy border1366: Let us pass5674, I pray thee, through thy country776: we will not pass5674 through the fields7704, or through the vineyards3754, neither will we drink8354 of the water4325 of the wells875: we will go3212 by the king's4428 high way1870, we will not turn5186 to the right hand3225 nor to the left8040, until we have passed5674 thy borders1366. And 123 said559 unto him, Thou shalt not pass5674 by me, lest I come out3318 against7125 thee with the 2719. And the children1121 of 3478 said559 unto him, We will go5927 by the high way4546: and if I and my cattle4735 drink8354 of thy water4325, then I will pay5414 4377 for it: I will only, without doing any thing1697 else, go through5674 my feet7272. And he said559, Thou shalt not go through5674. And 123 came out3318 against7125 him with much3515 people5971, and with a strong2389 hand3027. Thus 123 refused3985 to give5414 3478 passage5674 through his border1366: wherefore 3478 turned away5186 from him. And the children1121 of 3478, even the whole congregation5712, journeyed5265 from Kadesh6946, and came935 unto mount2022 Hor2023. And the LORD3068 spake559 unto 4872 and 175 in mount2022 Hor2023, by the coast1366 of the land776 of 123, saying559, 175 shall be gathered622 unto his people5971: for he shall not enter935 into the land776 which I have given5414 unto the children1121 of 3478, because ye rebelled against4784 my word6310 at the water4325 of 4809. word: Heb. mouth Take3947 175 and 499 his son1121, and bring them up5927 unto mount2022 Hor2023: And strip6584 175 of his garments899, and 3847 them upon 499 his son1121: and 175 shall be gathered622 unto his people, and shall die4191 there. And 4872 did6213 as the LORD3068 commanded6680: and they went up5927 into mount2022 Hor2023 in the sight5869 of all the congregation5712. And 4872 stripped6584 175 of his garments899, and 3847 them upon 499 his son1121; and 175 died4191 there in the top7218 of the mount2022: and 4872 and 499 came down3381 from the mount2022. And when all the congregation5712 saw7200 that 175 was dead1478, they mourned1058 for 175 thirty7970 days3117, even all the house1004 of 3478.
