1 And the children of Israel came with the whole multitude into the desert of Zin in the first moneth, and the people abode at Cades: And there died Miriam, and was buryed there. And the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh. And Miriam died there and was buried there. In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin, and they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried.
2 But there was no water for the multitude: and they gathered them selues together agaynst Moyses and Aaron. Now there was no water for the congregation. And they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron. Now there was no water for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron.
3 And the people chode with Moyses, and spake, saying: Woulde God that we had perished when our brethren dyed before the Lorde. And the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Would that we had perished when our brothers perished before the LORD! They quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the LORD!
4 Why haue ye brought the congregation of the Lorde into this wildernesse, that both we and our cattell shoulde dye in it? Why have you brought the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, that we should die here, both we and our cattle? Why did you bring the LORD’s community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here?
5 Wherfore haue ye made vs to come vp out of Egypt, to bryng vs into this euyll place, which is no place of seede, nor of fygges, nor vines, nor pomgranates, neither is there any water to drynke? And why have you made us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? It is no place for grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.” Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!”
6 And Moyses and Aaron went from the presence of the congregation, vnto the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation, and fel vpon their faces, and the glorie of the Lorde appeared vnto them. Then Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the entrance of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. And the glory of the LORD appeared to them, Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them.
7 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying: and the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
8 Take the rodde, and gather thou and thy brother Aaron the congregation together, and speake vnto the rocke before their eyes, and it shall geue foorth his water: And thou shalt bryng them water out of the rocke, to geue the companie drynke, and their beastes also. “Take the staff, and assemble the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and tell the rock before their eyes to yield its water. So you shall bring water out of the rock for them and give drink to the congregation and their cattle.” “Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.”
9 And Moyses toke the rodde from before the Lord, as he commaunded hym. And Moses took the staff from before the LORD, as he commanded him. So Moses took the staff from the LORD’s presence, just as he commanded him.
10 And Moyses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rocke, and Moyses sayde vnto them: Heare ye rebelles, must we fetch you water out of this rocke? Then Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels: shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”
11 And Moyses lyft vp his hande, and with his rodde he smote the rocke two tymes, and the water came out aboundauntly, and the multitude dranke, and their beastes also. And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his staff twice, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their livestock. Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
12 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron: Because ye beleued me not, to sanctifie me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therfore ye shall not bryng this congregation into the lande which I haue geuen them. And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe in me, to uphold me as holy in the eyes of the people of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.” But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”
13 This is the water of strife, because the children of Israel stroue with ye Lorde, and he was sanctified in them. These are the waters of Meribah, where the people of Israel quarreled with the LORD, and through them he showed himself holy. These were the waters of Meribah, where the Israelites quarreled with the LORD and where he was proved holy among them.
14 And Moyses sent messengers from Cades vnto the kyng of Edom, thus sayeth thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the trauayle that we haue had. Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom: “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the hardship that we have met: Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “This is what your brother Israel says: You know about all the hardships that have come on us.
15 Our fathers went downe into Egypt, & we haue dwelt in Egypt a long tyme: and the Egyptians vexed vs and our fathers. how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. And the Egyptians dealt harshly with us and our fathers. Our ancestors went down into Egypt, and we lived there many years. The Egyptians mistreated us and our ancestors,
16 And when we cryed vnto the Lorde, he hearde our voyce, and sent an angell, and hath set vs vp out of Egypt: And beholde, we are in Cades, euen in the vttermost citie of thy border. And when we cried to the LORD, he heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. And here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory. but when we cried out to the LORD, he heard our cry and sent an angel and brought us out of Egypt. “Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.
17 Let vs passe I pray thee through thy countrey: but we wyll not go through the fieldes or vineyardes, neither wyll we drynke of the water of the fountaynes: we wyll go by the kynges hye way, and neither turne vnto the ryght hande nor to the left, vntyll we be past thy borders. Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, or drink water from a well. We will go along the King’s Highway. We will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until we have passed through your territory.” Please let us pass through your country. We will not go through any field or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will travel along the King’s Highway and not turn to the right or to the left until we have passed through your territory.”
18 And Edom aunswered hym: Thou shalt not go by me, lest I come out agaynst thee with the sworde. But Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through, lest I come out with the sword against you.” But Edom answered: “You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword.”
19 The children of Israel sayd vnto him, we wyll go by the beaten way: and if I and my cattell drynke of thy water, I wyll pay for it: I wyll but only (without any harme) go through on my feete. And the people of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, and if we drink of your water, I and my livestock, then I will pay for it. Let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.” The Israelites replied: “We will go along the main road, and if we or our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We only want to pass through on foot—nothing else.”
20 He aunswered: Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out agaynst hym with much people, and with a mightie power. But he said, “You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against them with a large army and with a strong force. Again they answered: “You may not pass through.” Then Edom came out against them with a large and powerful army.
21 And thus Edom denied to geue Israel passage through his countrey: wherfore Israel turned away from hym. Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory, so Israel turned away from him. Since Edom refused to let them go through their territory, Israel turned away from them.
22 And the children of Israel departed from Cades, and came vnto mount Hor, with all the congregation. And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor. The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor.
23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron in mount Hor, harde by the coast of the lande of Edom, saying. And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 Aaron shalbe gathered vnto his people: for he shall not come into the lande which I haue geuen vnto the children of Israel, because ye disobeyed my mouth at the water of strife. “Let Aaron be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land that I have given to the people of Israel, because you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah. “Aaron will be gathered to his people. He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his sonne, and bryng them vp into mount Hor. Take Aaron and Eleazar his son and bring them up to Mount Hor. Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor.
26 And cause Aaron to put of his garmentes, and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne: and Aaron shalbe gathered vnto his people, and shall dye there. And strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son. And Aaron shall be gathered to his people and shall die there.” Remove Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will die there.”
27 And Moyses dyd as the Lorde commaunded: and they went vp into mount Hor, in the sight of all the multitude. Moses did as the LORD commanded. And they went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. Moses did as the LORD commanded: They went up Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community.
28 And Moyses toke of Aarons clothes, and put them vpon Eleazar his sonne, and Aaron dyed there in the toppe of the mount: And Moyses and Eleazar came downe out of the mount. And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar. And Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain,
29 When all ye multitude sawe that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaro thirtie dayes, all the housholde of Israel. And when all the congregation saw that Aaron had perished, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days. and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died, all the Israelites mourned for him thirty days.
