Death of Miriam

1 Then came the children of Israēl, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.

וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ בְנֵֽי־יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל כָּל־הָ֨עֵדָ֤ה מִדְבַּר־צִן֙ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָֽרִאשֹׁ֔ון וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב הָעָ֖ם בְּקָדֵ֑שׁ וַתָּ֤מָת שָׁם֙ מִרְיָ֔ם וַתִּקָּבֵ֖ר שָֽׁם׃

1 Καὶ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ, πᾶσα συναγωγή εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Σὶν ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ, καὶ κατέμεινεν λαὸς ἐν Κάδης, καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν ἐκεῖ Μαριὰμ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐκεῖ. 1 Καὶ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πᾶσα συναγωγὴ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον Σίν, ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ, καὶ κατέμεινεν λαὸς ἐν Κάδης, καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν ἐκεῖ Μαριὰμ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐκεῖ.
1 Then the sons of Israēl, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadēs; and Mariam died there, and was buried there. 1 Then the sons of Israēl, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Sin, in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadēs; and Mariam died there, and was buried there.

2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Mōysēs and against Aaron.

וְלֹא־הָ֥יָה מַ֖יִם לָעֵדָ֑ה וַיִּקָּ֣הֲל֔וּ עַל־מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְעַֽל־אַהֲרֹֽן׃

2 καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ συναγωγῇ, καὶ ἠθροίσθησαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρών. 2 καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ συναγωγῇ, καὶ ἠθροίσθησαν ἐπὶ Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρών.
2 And there was no water for the congregation; and they gathered themselves together against Mōysēs and Aarōn. 2 And there was no water for the congregation; and they gathered themselves together against Mōysēs and Aarōn.

3 And the people rebuked Mōysēs, and spoke, saying, Would God that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!

וַיָּ֥רֶב הָעָ֖ם עִם־מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לֵאמֹ֔ר וְל֥וּ גָוַ֛עְנוּ בִּגְוַ֥ע אַחֵ֖ינוּ לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

3 καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγοντες Ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἔναντι κυρίου· 3 καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο λαὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγοντες· ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου·
3 And the people reproached Mōysēs, saying, “Would we had died in the destruction of our brothers before the Lord! 3 And the people reproached Mōysēs, saying, “Would we had died in the destruction of our brothers before the Lord!

4 And why have you brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

וְלָמָ֤ה הֲבֵאתֶם֙ אֶת־קְהַ֣ל יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה לָמ֣וּת שָׁ֔ם אֲנַ֖חְנוּ וּבְעִירֵֽנוּ׃

4 καὶ ἵνα τί ἀνηγάγετε τὴν συναγωγὴν κυρίου εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἡμῶν; 4 καὶ ἱνατί ἀνηγάγετε τὴν συναγωγὴν Κυρίου εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἡμῶν;
4 And why did you bring up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our livestock? 4 And why did you bring up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, to kill us and our livestock?

5 And therefore have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto 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.

וְלָמָ֤ה הֶֽעֱלִיתֻ֙נוּ֙ מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם לְהָבִ֣יא אֹתָ֔נוּ אֶל־הַמָּקֹ֥ום הָרָ֖ע הַזֶּ֑ה לֹ֣א ׀ מְקֹ֣ום זֶ֗רַע וּתְאֵנָ֤ה וְגֶ֙פֶן֙ וְרִמֹּ֔ון וּמַ֥יִם אַ֖יִן לִשְׁתֹּֽות׃

5 καὶ ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἀνηγάγετε ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου παραγενέσθαι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν πονηρὸν τοῦτον;
τόπος, οὗ οὐ σπείρεται οὐδὲ συκαῖ οὐδὲ ἄμπελοι οὐδὲ ῥόαι οὐδὲ ὕδωρ ἐστὶν πιεῖν.
5 καὶ ἱνατί τοῦτο;
ἀνηγάγετε ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου παραγενέσθαι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν πονηρὸν τοῦτον, τόπος οὗ οὐ σπείρεται, οὐδὲ συκαῖ, οὐδὲ ἄμπελοι, οὔτε ῥοαί, οὔτε ὕδωρ ἐστὶ πιεῖν.
5 And why is it that you brought us up out of Aigypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, nor is there water to drink.” 5 And why is it that you brought us up out of Aigypt, that we should come into this evil place; a place where there is no sowing, neither figs, nor vines, nor pomegranates, nor is there water to drink.”

6 And Mōysēs and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

וַיָּבֹא֩ מֹשֶׁ֨ה וְאַהֲרֹ֜ן מִפְּנֵ֣י הַקָּהָ֗ל אֶל־פֶּ֙תַח֙ אֹ֣הֶל מֹועֵ֔ד וַֽיִּפְּל֖וּ עַל־פְּנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֵּרָ֥א כְבֹוד־יְהוָ֖ה אֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

6 Καὶ ἦλθεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς συναγωγῆς ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον, καὶ ὤφθη δόξα κυρίου πρὸς αὐτούς. 6 καὶ ἦλθε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς συναγωγῆς ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ἔπεσον ἐπὶ πρόσωπον, καὶ ὤφθη δόξα Κυρίου πρὸς αὐτούς.

7 And the LORD spoke unto Mōysēs, saying,

וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

7 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων 7 καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·
7 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs, saying, 7 And the Lord spoke to Mōysēs, saying,

Water of Meribah

8 Take the rod, and gather the assembly together, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and you shall bring forth to them water out of the rock: so you shall give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 And Mōysēs took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

וַיִּקַּ֥ח מֹשֶׁ֛ה אֶת־הַמַּטֶּ֖ה מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּֽהוּ׃

9 καὶ ἔλαβεν Μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν ἀπέναντι κυρίου, καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος· 9 καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν ἀπέναντι Κυρίου, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος,
9 And Mōysēs took the rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord directed. 9 And Mōysēs took the rod which was before the Lord, as the Lord directed.

10 And Mōysēs and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, you rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?

וַיַּקְהִ֜לוּ מֹשֶׁ֧ה וְאַהֲרֹ֛ן אֶת־הַקָּהָ֖ל אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַסָּ֑לַע וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֗ם שִׁמְעוּ־נָא֙ הַמֹּרִ֔ים הֲמִן־הַסֶּ֣לַע הַזֶּ֔ה נֹוצִ֥יא לָכֶ֖ם מָֽיִם׃

10 καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν τὴν συναγωγὴν ἀπέναντι τῆς πέτρας καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ ἀπειθεῖς· μὴ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας ταύτης ἐξάξομεν ὑμῖν ὕδωρ; 10 καὶ ἐξεκλησίασε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἀαρὼν τὴν συναγωγὴν ἀπέναντι τῆς πέτρας καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτούς· ἀκούσατέ μου, οἱ ἀπειθεῖς· μὴ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας ταύτης ἐξάξομεν ὑμῖν ὕδωρ;
10 And Mōysēs and Aarōn held an assembly of the congregation before the rock, and said to them, “Hear me, you disobedient ones; shall we not bring you water out of this rock?” 10 And Mōysēs and Aarōn held an assembly of the congregation before the rock, and said to them, “Hear me, you disobedient ones; shall we not bring you water out of this rock?”

11 And Mōysēs lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.

וַיָּ֨רֶם מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶת־יָדֹ֗ו וַיַּ֧ךְ אֶת־הַסֶּ֛לַע בְּמַטֵּ֖הוּ פַּעֲמָ֑יִם וַיֵּצְאוּ֙ מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֔ים וַתֵּ֥שְׁתְּ הָעֵדָ֖ה וּבְעִירָֽם׃

11 καὶ ἐπάρας Μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξεν τὴν πέτραν τῇ ῥάβδῳ δίς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὕδωρ πολύ, καὶ ἔπιεν συναγωγὴ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν. 11 καὶ ἐπάρας Μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξε τὴν πέτραν τῇ ῥάβδῳ δίς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὕδωρ πολύ, καὶ ἔπιεν συναγωγὴ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν.

12 And the LORD spoke unto Mōysēs and Aaron, Because you didn’t believe me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israēl, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָה֮ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן֒ יַ֚עַן לֹא־הֶאֱמַנְתֶּ֣ם בִּ֔י לְהַ֨קְדִּישֵׁ֔נִי לְעֵינֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לָכֵ֗ן לֹ֤א תָבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־הַקָּהָ֣ל הַזֶּ֔ה אֶל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥תִּי לָהֶֽם׃

12 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν Ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε ἁγιάσαι με ἐναντίον υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ εἰσάξετε ὑμεῖς τὴν συναγωγὴν ταύτην εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν δέδωκα αὐτοῖς. 12 καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρών· ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε ἁγιάσαι με ἐναντίον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ, διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ εἰσάξετε ὑμεῖς τὴν συναγωγὴν ταύτην εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν δέδωκα αὐτοῖς.
12 And the Lord said to Mōysēs and Aarōn, “Because you didn’t believed me to sanctify me before Israēl’s sons, therefore you shall not lead this congregation into the land which I have given them.” 12 And the Lord said to Mōysēs and Aarōn, “Because you didn’t believed me to sanctify me before Israēl’s sons, therefore you shall not lead this congregation into the land, which I have given them.”

13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israēl quarreled with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

הֵ֚מָּה מֵ֣י מְרִיבָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־רָב֥וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּקָּדֵ֖שׁ בָּֽם׃

13 τοῦτο ὕδωρ ἀντιλογίας, ὅτι ἐλοιδορήθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἡγιάσθη ἐν αὐτοῖς. 13 τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ ἀντιλογίας, ὅτι ἐλοιδορήθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἔναντι Κυρίου καὶ ἡγιάσθη ἐν αὐτοῖς.
13 This is the water of argument, because the sons of Israēl reproached before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them. 13 This is the water of argument, because the sons of Israēl reproached before the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.

14 And Mōysēs sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus says your brother Israēl, You know all the travail that has befallen us:

וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח מֹשֶׁ֧ה מַלְאָכִ֛ים מִקָּדֵ֖שׁ אֶל־מֶ֣לֶךְ אֱדֹ֑ום כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אָחִ֣יךָ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַתָּ֣ה יָדַ֔עְתָּ אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַתְּלָאָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר מְצָאָֽתְנוּ׃

14 And Mōysēs sent messengers from Kadēs to the king of Edōm, saying, “Your brother Israēl says this: You know all the hardship that has found us. 14 And Mōysēs sent messengers from Kadēs to the king of Edōm, saying, “Your brother Israēl says this: You know all the hardship that has found us.

15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

וַיֵּרְד֤וּ אֲבֹתֵ֙ינוּ֙ מִצְרַ֔יְמָה וַנֵּ֥שֶׁב בְּמִצְרַ֖יִם יָמִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וַיָּרֵ֥עוּ לָ֛נוּ מִצְרַ֖יִם וְלַאֲבֹתֵֽינוּ׃


16 And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and has brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of your border:

וַנִּצְעַ֤ק אֶל־יְהוָה֙ וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע קֹלֵ֔נוּ וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח מַלְאָ֔ךְ וַיֹּצִאֵ֖נוּ מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם וְהִנֵּה֙ אֲנַ֣חְנוּ בְקָדֵ֔שׁ עִ֖יר קְצֵ֥ה גְבוּלֶֽךָ׃

16 καὶ ἀνεβοήσαμεν πρὸς κύριον, καὶ εἰσήκουσεν κύριος τῆς φωνῆς ἡμῶν καὶ ἀποστείλας ἄγγελον ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ νῦν ἐσμεν ἐν Κάδης, πόλει ἐκ μέρους τῶν ὁρίων σου· 16 καὶ ἀνεβοήσαμεν πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ εἰσήκουσε Κύριος τῆς φωνῆς ἡμῶν καὶ ἀποστείλας ἄγγελον ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ νῦν ἔσμεν ἐν Κάδης πόλει, ἐκ μέρους τῶν ὁρίων σου·
16 And we shouted aloud to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice; and after he sent an angel, he led us out of Aigypt. And now we are in Kadēs, a city at the edge of your borders. 16 And we shouted aloud to the Lord, and the Lord heard our voice; and after he sent an angel, he led us out of Aigypt. And now we are in Kadēs, a city at the edge of your borders.

17 Let us pass, I pray you, through your country: we won’t pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s highway, we won’t turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.

נַעְבְּרָה־נָּ֣א בְאַרְצֶ֗ךָ לֹ֤א נַעֲבֹר֙ בְּשָׂדֶ֣ה וּבְכֶ֔רֶם וְלֹ֥א נִשְׁתֶּ֖ה מֵ֣י בְאֵ֑ר דֶּ֧רֶךְ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ נֵלֵ֗ךְ לֹ֤א נִטֶּה֙ יָמִ֣ין וּשְׂמֹ֔אול עַ֥ד אֲשֶֽׁר־נַעֲבֹ֖ר גְּבוּלֶֽךָ׃

17 παρελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου, οὐ διελευσόμεθα δι’ ἀγρῶν οὐδὲ δι’ ἀμπελώνων οὐδὲ πιόμεθα ὕδωρ ἐκ λάκκου σου, ὁδῷ βασιλικῇ πορευσόμεθα, οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν δεξιὰ οὐδὲ εὐώνυμα, ἕως ἄν παρέλθωμεν τὰ ὅριά σου. 17 παρελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου, οὐ διελευσόμεθα δι’ ἀγρῶν, οὐδὲ δι’ ἀμπελώνων, οὐδὲ πιόμεθα ὕδωρ ἐκ λάκκου σου, ὁδῷ βασιλικῇ πορευσόμεθα, οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν δεξιὰ οὐδὲ εὐώνυμα, ἕως ἄν παρέλθωμεν τὰ ὅριά σου.
17 We shall pass through your land. We won’t go through fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your reservoir. We will go by the royal road; we won’t turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.” 17 We shall pass through your land. We won’t go through fields, nor through the vineyards, nor will we drink water out of your reservoir. We will go by the royal road; we won’t turn aside to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your borders.”

18 And Edom said unto him, You shall not pass by me, lest I come out against you with the sword.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֱדֹ֔ום לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹ֖ר בִּ֑י פֶּן־בַּחֶ֖רֶב אֵצֵ֥א לִקְרָאתֶֽךָ׃

18 And Edōm said to him, “You shall not go through me, but if otherwise, I will go out to meet you in war.” 18 And Edōm said to him, “You shall not go through me, but if otherwise, I will go out to meet you in war.”

19 And the children of Israēl said unto him, We will go by the highway: and if I and my cattle drink of your water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.

וַיֹּאמְר֨וּ אֵלָ֥יו בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֮ בַּֽמְסִלָּ֣ה נַעֲלֶה֒ וְאִם־מֵימֶ֤יךָ נִשְׁתֶּה֙ אֲנִ֣י וּמִקְנַ֔י וְנָתַתִּ֖י מִכְרָ֑ם רַ֥ק אֵין־דָּבָ֖ר בְּרַגְלַ֥י אֶֽעֱבֹֽרָה׃

19 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ Παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα· ἐὰν δὲ τοῦ ὕδατός σου πίωμεν ἐγώ τε καὶ τὰ κτήνη, δώσω τιμήν σοι· ἀλλὰ τὸ πρᾶγμα οὐδέν ἐστιν, παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα. 19 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ· παρά τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα, ἐὰν δὲ τοῦ ὕδατός σου πίωμεν ἐγώ τε καὶ τὰ κτήνη μου, δώσω τιμήν σοι· ἀλλὰ τὸ πρᾶγμα οὐδέν ἔστι, παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα.
19 And the sons of Israēl kept saying to him, “We will pass beside the mountain; but if I and my livestock drink from your water, I will pay you a price; but it doesn’t matter, we will pass beside the mountain.” 19 And the sons of Israēl kept saying to him, “We will pass beside the mountain; but if I and my livestock drink from your water, I will pay you a price; but it doesn’t matter, we will pass beside the mountain.”

20 And he said, You shall not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

20 δὲ εἶπεν Οὐ διελεύσῃ δι’ ἐμοῦ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἐδὼμ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ ἐν ὄχλῳ βαρεῖ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ ἰσχυρᾷ. 20 δὲ εἶπε· οὐ διελεύσῃ δι’ ἐμοῦ.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἐδὼμ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ ἐν ὄχλῳ βαρεῖ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ ἰσχυρᾷ.
20 And he said, “You shall not pass through me.” and Edōm went out to meet him with a heavily armed crowd, and with a strong hand. 20 And he said, “You shall not pass through me.” and Edōm went out to meet him with a heavily armed crowd, and with a strong hand.

21 Thus Edom refused to give Israēl passage through his border: therefore Israēl turned away from him.

וַיְמָאֵ֣ן ׀ אֱדֹ֗ום נְתֹן֙ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עֲבֹ֖ר בִּגְבֻלֹ֑ו וַיֵּ֥ט יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵעָלָֽיו׃

21 And Edōm didn’t want to give Israēl passage through his borders. Then Israēl turned away from him. 21 And Edōm didn’t want to give Israēl passage through his borders. Then Israēl turned away from him.

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

22 And they departed from Kadēs; and the sons of Israēl, all the congregation, came to Ōr the mountain. 22 And they departed from Kadēs; and the sons of Israēl, all the congregation, came to Ōr the mountain.

Death of Aaron

23 And the LORD spoke unto Mōysēs and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
