20 Pastaj tërë asambleja e bijve të Izraelit arriti në shkretëtirën e Sinit në muajin e parë dhe populli qëndroi në Kadesh. Këtu vdiq dhe u varros Miriami.
2 Por mungonte uji për asamblenë, prandaj u mblodhën kundër Moisiut dhe Aaronit.
3 Kështu populli u grind me Moisiun dhe i foli, duke i thënë: "Të kishim vdekur kur vdiqën vëllezërit tanë para Zotit!
4 Pse e çuat asamblenë e Zotit në këtë shkretëtirë që të vdesim, ne dhe bagëtia jonë?
5 Dhe pse na bëtë të dalim nga Egjipti për të na sjellë në këtë vend të keq? Nuk është një vend që prodhon grurë, fiq, rrush ose shegë dhe mungon uji për të pirë".
6 Atëherë Moisiu dhe Aaroni u larguan nga asambleja për të vajtur në hyrje të çadrës së mbledhjes dhe ranë përmbys me fytyrën për tokë; dhe lavdia e Zotit iu shfaq atyre.
7 Pastaj Zoti i foli Moisiut, duke i thënë:
8 "Merr bastunin; ti dhe vëllai yt Aaron thirrni asamblenë dhe para syve të tyre i flisni shkëmbit, dhe ai do të japë ujin e tij; kështu do të nxjerrësh për ta ujë nga shkëmbi dhe do t’u japësh të pinë njerëzve dhe bagëtisë së tyre".
9 Moisiu mori, pra, bastunin që ishte përpara Zotit, ashtu si e kishte urdhëruar Zoti.
10 Kështu Moisiu dhe Aaroni thirrën asamblenë përpara shkëmbit dhe Moisiu u tha atyre: "Tani dëgjoni, o rebelë; a duhet të nxjerrim ujë për ju nga ky shkëmb?".
11 Pastaj Moisiu ngriti dorën, goditi shkëmbin me bastunin e tij dy herë dhe prej tij doli ujë me bollëk; kështu asambleja dhe bagëtia pinë ujë.
12 Atëherë Zoti u tha Moisiut dhe Aaronit: "Me qenë se nuk më besuat për të më mbuluar me lavdi para syve të bijve të Izraelit, ju nuk do ta futni këtë asamble në vendin që unë u dhashë atyre".
13 Këto janë ujërat e Meribës ku bijtë e Izraelit u grindën me Zotin, dhe ky u tregua i Shenjtë në mes tyre.
14 Pastaj Moisiu dërgoi lajmëtarë në Kadesh te mbreti i Edomit për t’i thënë: "Kështu thotë Izraeli, vëllai yt: Ti i njeh të gjitha fatkeqësitë që kemi pësuar,
15 si zbritën etërit tanë në Egjipt dhe ne qëndruam një kohë të gjatë në atë vend, dhe Egjiptasit na keqtrajtuan ne dhe etërit tanë.
16 Por, kur i thirrëm Zotit, ai e dëgjoi zërin tonë dhe dërgoi një Engjëll dhe na nxori nga Egjipti; dhe tani jemi në Kadesh, një qytet në afërsi të kufijve tuaj.
17 Po na lejo të kalojmë nëpër vendin tënd; ne nuk do të shkelim as arat as vreshtat tuaja, nuk do të pijmë ujin e puseve; do të ndjekim rrugën mbretërore, pa u kthyer as djathtas as majtas, deri sa të kalojmë kufijtë e tu".
18 Por Edomi iu përgjigj: "Ti nuk do të kalosh nëpër territorin tim, përndryshe do të të kundërvihem me shpatë".
19 Bijtë e Izraelit i thanë: "Ne do të ngjitemi nga rruga kryesore; dhe në rast se ne dhe bagëtia jonë do të pimë nga uji yt, do të ta paguajmë; na lejo vetëm të kalojmë më këmbë dhe asgjë më tepër".
20 Por ai u përgjigj: "Nuk do të kaloni!".
21
22 Atëherë bijtë e Izraelit, tërë asambleja u nisën nga Kadeshi dhe arritën në malin Hor.
23 Dhe Zoti i foli Moisiut dhe Aaronit në malin Hor, në kufijtë e vendit të Edomit, duke thënë:
24 "Aaroni po bashkohet me popullin e tij, dhe nuk ka për të hyrë në vendin që u kam dhënë bijve të Izraelit, sepse keni ngritur krye kundër urdhrit tim në ujërat e Meribës.
25 Merr Aaronin dhe Eleazarin, birin e tij, dhe çoji lart, në malin e Horit.
26 Zhvishe Aaronin nga rrobat e tij dhe vishja të birit, Eleazarit; dhe aty Aaroni do të bashkohet me popullin e tij dhe do të vdesë".
27 Moisiu bëri ashtu siç e kishte urdhëruar Zoti; dhe ata hipën mbi malin e Horit para syve të të gjithë asamblesë.
28 Moisiu ia zhveshi rrobat Aaronit dhe ia veshi Eleazarit, birit të tij; dhe Aaroni vdiq aty, në majë të malit. Pastaj Moisiu dhe Eleazari zbritën nga mali.
29 Kur tërë asambleja pa që Aaroni kishte vdekur, e tërë shtëpia e Izraelit e qau Aaronin për tridhjetë ditë.

Water From the Rock
20 In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin,(A) and they stayed at Kadesh.(B) There Miriam(C) died and was buried.
2 Now there was no water(D) for the community,(E) and the people gathered in opposition(F) to Moses and Aaron. 3 They quarreled(G) with Moses and said, “If only we had died when our brothers fell dead(H) before the Lord!(I) 4 Why did you bring the Lord’s community into this wilderness,(J) that we and our livestock should die here?(K) 5 Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates.(L) And there is no water to drink!(M)”
6 Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting(N) and fell facedown,(O) and the glory of the Lord(P) appeared to them. 7 The Lord said to Moses, 8 “Take the staff,(Q) and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water.(R) You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.”
9 So Moses took the staff(S) from the Lord’s presence,(T) just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together(U) in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?”(V) 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water(W) gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank.
12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy(X) in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”(Y)
13 These were the waters of Meribah,[a](Z) where the Israelites quarreled(AA) with the Lord and where he was proved holy among them.(AB)
Edom Denies Israel Passage
14 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh(AC) to the king of Edom,(AD) saying:
“This is what your brother Israel says: You know(AE) about all the hardships(AF) that have come on us. 15 Our ancestors went down into Egypt,(AG) and we lived there many years.(AH) The Egyptians mistreated(AI) us and our ancestors, 16 but when we cried out to the Lord, he heard our cry(AJ) and sent an angel(AK) and brought us out of Egypt.(AL)
“Now we are here at Kadesh, a town on the edge of your territory.(AM) 17 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.(AN)”
18 But Edom(AO) answered:
“You may not pass through here; if you try, we will march out and attack you with the sword.(AP)”
19 The Israelites replied:
“We will go along the main road, and if we or our livestock(AQ) drink any of your water, we will pay for it.(AR) We only want to pass through on foot—nothing else.”
20 Again they answered:
“You may not pass through.(AS)”
Then Edom(AT) came out against them with a large and powerful army. 21 Since Edom refused to let them go through their territory,(AU) Israel turned away from them.(AV)
The Death of Aaron
22 The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh(AW) and came to Mount Hor.(AX) 23 At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom,(AY) the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 24 “Aaron will be gathered to his people.(AZ) He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command(BA) at the waters of Meribah.(BB) 25 Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor.(BC) 26 Remove Aaron’s garments(BD) and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people;(BE) he will die there.”
27 Moses did as the Lord commanded: They went up Mount Hor(BF) in the sight of the whole community. 28 Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar.(BG) And Aaron died there(BH) on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, 29 and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died,(BI) all the Israelites mourned for him(BJ) thirty days.

King James Version
20 Then came the children of Israel, 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.
2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
3 And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!
4 And why have ye brought up the congregation of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
5 And wherefore have ye 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.
6 And Moses 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.
7 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
9 And Moses took the rod from before the Lord, as he commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
11 And Moses 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.
12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
13 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the Lord, and he was sanctified in them.
14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen 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:
16 And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
17 Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not 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 high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
18 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
19 And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.
20 And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
22 And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
24 Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
26 And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.
27 And Moses did as the Lord commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
29 And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
