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. 18 And Edom aunswered hym: Thou shalt not go by me, lest I come out agaynst thee with the sworde. 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. 20 He aunswered: Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out agaynst hym with much people, and with a mightie power. 21 And thus Edom denied to geue Israel passage through his countrey: wherfore Israel turned away from hym. 22 And the children of Israel departed from Cades, and came vnto mount Hor, with all the congregation. 23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron in mount Hor, harde by the coast of the lande of Edom, saying. 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. 25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his sonne, and bryng them vp into 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. 27 And Moyses dyd as the Lorde commaunded: and they went vp into mount Hor, in the sight of all the multitude. 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. 29 When all ye multitude sawe that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaro thirtie dayes, all the housholde of Israel.
