CHAP. XX.

1 Miriám dyeth, 2 The people murmure. 8 They haue water out of the rocke. 14. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 denyeth the Israelites passage. 25. 28 The death of Aarón, in whose rowme Eleazár succedeth.

1 THen the children of Iraél came with the whole Congregacion to the desert of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the firsta 1.1 moneth, and the people abo∣de at Kadésh: whereb 1.2 Miriám dyed, and was buryed there.

2 But there was no water for the Congrega∣cion, and theyc 1.3 assembled thē selues against Mosés and against Aarón.

3 And the people chode with Mosés, and spa∣ke,* 1.4 saying, Wolde God we had perished, ** 1.5 when our brethren dyed before the Lord.* 1.6

4 * Why haue ye thus broght the congrega∣cion of the Lord vnto this wildernes, that (both) we, and our cattel shulde dye there?

5 Wherefore now haue ye made vs to come vp from Egypt, to bring vs into this misera∣ble place, (which is) no place of sede, nor figs nor vines, nor pomgranates? nether is there anie water to drinke.

6 Then Mosés and Aarón went from the assem blie vnto the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregacion, and fel vpon their faces: and the glorie of the Lord appeared vnto them.

7 And the Lord spake vnto Mosés, saying,

8 Take thed 1.7 rod, and gather thou and thy bro ther Aarón the Congregacion together, and speake ye vnto the rocke before their eies, and it shal giue forthe his water, and thou shalt bring them water out of the rocke: so thou shalt giue the Congregacion, and their beastes drinke.

9 Then Mosés toke the rod from before the Lord, as he had commanded him.

10 And Mosés and Aarón gathered the Con∣gregacion together before the rocke, and (Moses) sayd vnto thē, Heare now, yerebels:e 1.8 shal we bring you water out of this rocke?

11 Then Mosés lift vp his hand, and with his rod he smote the rocket wise, and the water came out abundantly: so the Congregacion and their beasts dranke.

12 ¶ Agayne the Lord spake vnto Mosés and to Aarón, Because ye beleued me not, tof 1.9 san∣ctifie me in the presence of the children of Israél therefore ye shal not bring this Congregacion into the land which I haue

giuen them.

13 This is the waterg 1.10 of Meribáh, because the children of Israél stroue with the Lord, and heh 1.11 was sanctified in them.

14 ¶ Then Mosés sent messengers from Ka∣désh vnto the King ofi 1.12 Edôm, (saying) Thus saith thy brother Israél, Thou knowest all the trauaile that we haue had.

15 How our fathers went downe into Egypt, & we dwelt in Egypt a long time, where the Egyptians handled vs euill and our fathers.

16 But when we cryed vnto the Lord, he heard our voyce, and sent an Angel, & hath broght vs out of Egypt, & beholde, we are in the ci∣tie Kadésh, in thine vtmost boader.

17 I pray thee that we may passe through thy countrey: we wil not go through the fieldes 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the vineyardes, nether wil we drinke of the water of the welles: we will go by the“ 1.13 kynges way, and nether turne vnto the right hand nor to the left, vntill we be past thy borders.

18 And Edóm answered him,“ 1.14 Thou shalt not passe by me, lest I come out against thee with the sworde.

19 Then the children of Israél said vnto hym, We wil go vp by the hie way and if I and my cattel drinke of thy water, I will then paye for it: I will onely [without anie harme] go through on my fete.

20 He answered againe, Thou shalt not go through Thē Edōm came out against hym* 1.15 with much people, & with a mighty power

21 Thus Edóm denied to giue Israél passage through his countrie: wherefore Israélk 1.16 tur∣ned way from him.

22 ¶ And when the children of Israél with all the Congregacion departed from * Kadésh,* 1.17 they came vnto the mount Hor.

23 And the Lord spake vnto Mosês and to Aa∣rón in the mount Hor nere the coste of the land of Edôm, saying.

24 Aarôn shalbel 1.18 gathered vnto his people: for he shall not entre into the land, whiche* 1.19 I haue giuen vnto the children of Israél, be∣cause ye“ 1.20 disobeied my commandement at the water“ 1.21 of Meribáh.

25 Take * Aarón and Eleazár his sonne, and* 1.22 bring them vp into the mount Hor.* 1.23

26 And cause Aarôn to put of his garments and put them vpon Eleazár his sonne: for Aarón shall be gathered (to his fathers,) and shall dye there.

27 And Mosés did as the Lord had cōmanded and thei went vp into the mount, Hor, in the sight of all the Congregacion.

28 And Mosés put of Aarons clothes, & put thē vpō Eleazar his sonne: * so Aaron dyed there* 1.24 in the top of the mount: and Mosés & Elea∣zár* 1.25 came downe from of the mount.

29 When al the Cōgregacion sawe that Aarôn was dead, all the house of Israél wept“ 1.26 for Aarón thirtie dayes.
