00:00.000 --> 00:04.640
Chapter 20 Then came the children of
Israel, even the whole congregation,

00:05.000 --> 00:07.240
into the desert of Zin, in the first
month.

00:07.420 --> 00:11.500
And the people abode in Kadesh,
and Miriam died there, and was buried

00:11.500 --> 00:11.880
there.

00:12.260 --> 00:15.440
And there was no water for the
congregation, and they gathered themselves

00:15.440 --> 00:17.640
together against Moses and against Aaron.

00:18.020 --> 00:21.840
And the people chode with Moses,
and spake, saying, Would God that we had

00:21.840 --> 00:24.620
died when our brethren died before the
Lord!

00:24.620 --> 00:29.280
And why have ye brought up the
congregation of the Lord into this

00:29.280 --> 00:32.960
wilderness, that we and our cattle should
die there?

00:33.340 --> 00:38.800
And wherefore have ye made us to come up
out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this

00:38.800 --> 00:39.820
evil place?

00:40.260 --> 00:45.640
It is no place of seed, or of figs,
or of vines, or of pomegranates,

00:46.140 --> 00:48.380
neither is there any water to drink.

00:48.540 --> 00:52.740
And Moses and Aaron went from the presence
of the assembly unto the door of the

00:52.740 --> 00:55.720
tabernacle of the congregation,
and they fell upon their faces.

00:56.020 --> 00:58.060
And the glory of the Lord appeared unto
them.

00:58.360 --> 01:02.420
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the

01:02.420 --> 01:07.780
assembly together, thou and Aaron thy
brother, and speak ye unto the rock before

01:07.780 --> 01:10.820
their eyes, and it shall give forth his
water.

01:11.500 --> 01:16.380
And thou shalt bring forth to them water
out of the rock, so thou shalt give the

01:16.380 --> 01:18.220
congregation and their beasts drink.

01:18.440 --> 01:21.720
And Moses took the rod from before the
Lord as he commanded him.

01:21.720 --> 01:25.720
And Moses and Aaron gathered the
congregation together before the rock,

01:25.840 --> 01:30.560
and he said unto them, Hear now,
ye rebels, must we fetch you water out of

01:30.560 --> 01:31.080
this rock?

01:31.300 --> 01:35.920
And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his
rod he smoked the rock twice, and the

01:35.920 --> 01:39.780
water came out abundantly, and the
congregation drank, and their beasts also.

01:40.240 --> 01:44.760
And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron,
Because ye believe me not to sanctify me

01:44.760 --> 01:49.000
in the eyes of the children of Israel,
therefore ye shall not bring this

01:49.000 --> 01:51.300
congregation into the land which I have
given them.

01:51.300 --> 01:55.420
This is the water of Meribah, because the
children of Israel strove with the Lord,

01:55.560 --> 01:57.180
and he was sanctified in them.

01:57.760 --> 02:01.300
And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto
the king of Edom.

02:01.520 --> 02:06.800
Thus saith thy brother Israel,
Thou knowest all the travail that hath

02:06.800 --> 02:12.940
befallen us, how our fathers went down
into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a

02:12.940 --> 02:16.900
long time, and the Egyptians vexed us and
our fathers.

02:17.680 --> 02:22.320
And when we cried unto the Lord,
he heard our voice, and sent an angel,

02:22.680 --> 02:24.660
and hath brought us forth out of Egypt.

02:25.060 --> 02:30.820
And behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in
the uttermost of thy border.

02:31.560 --> 02:34.620
Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy
country.

02:35.160 --> 02:39.540
We will not pass through the fields,
or through the vineyards, neither will we

02:39.540 --> 02:41.020
drink of the water of the wells.

02:41.580 --> 02:43.440
We will go by the king's highway.

02:44.120 --> 02:48.700
We will not turn to the right hand,
nor to the left, until we have passed thy

02:48.700 --> 02:49.100
borders.

02:49.100 --> 02:54.880
And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not
pass by me, lest I come out against thee

02:54.880 --> 02:55.820
with the sword.

02:55.980 --> 03:00.140
And the children of Israel said unto him,
We will go by the highway, and if I and my

03:00.140 --> 03:02.700
cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay
for it.

03:03.080 --> 03:06.540
I will only, without doing anything else,
go through on my feet.

03:06.920 --> 03:09.740
And he said, Thou shalt not go through.

03:10.160 --> 03:13.760
And Edom came out against him with much
people and with a strong hand.

03:14.140 --> 03:17.240
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage
through his border.

03:17.840 --> 03:19.860
Wherefore Israel turned away from him.

03:20.480 --> 03:24.540
And the children of Israel, even the whole
congregation, journeyed from Kadesh and

03:24.540 --> 03:25.700
came unto Mount Hor.

03:25.980 --> 03:30.380
And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in
Mount Hor, by the coast of the land of

03:30.380 --> 03:35.640
Edom, saying, Aaron shall be gathered unto
his people, for he shall not enter into

03:35.640 --> 03:39.660
the land which I have given unto the
children of Israel, because ye rebelled

03:39.660 --> 03:41.720
against my word at the water of Meribah.

03:42.460 --> 03:46.640
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son,
and bring them up unto Mount Hor.

03:47.240 --> 03:51.640
And strip Aaron of his garments,
and put them upon Eleazar his son.

03:52.220 --> 03:56.100
And Aaron shall be gathered unto his
people, and shall die there.

03:56.520 --> 03:58.380
And Moses did as the Lord commanded.

03:58.800 --> 04:01.700
And they went up into Mount Hor in the
sight of all the congregation.

04:02.220 --> 04:06.680
And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments,
and put them upon Eleazar his son.

04:07.120 --> 04:09.200
And Aaron died there in the top of the
mount.

04:09.420 --> 04:12.060
And Moses and Eleazar came down from the
mount.

04:12.500 --> 04:16.640
And when all the congregation saw that
Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron

04:16.640 --> 04:19.340
thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
