Numbers 20 - Revised Standard Version Old Tradition 1952(RSV-C)

1And 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.

2 where the people of Israel contended with the Lord, and he showed himself holy among them.

14Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the adversity that has befallen us:

15how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt harshly with us and our fathers;

16and when we cried to the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us forth out of Egypt; and here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.

17Now let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or vineyard, neither will we 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.”

18But Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through, lest I come out with the sword against you.”

19And the people of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my cattle, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, nothing more.”

20But he said, “You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against them with many men, and with a strong force.

21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.

22And they journeyed from Kadesh, and the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

23And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom,

24“Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the people of Israel, because you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah.

25Num 33.38,39. Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

26and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there.”

27Moses did as the Lord commanded; and they went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

28And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

29And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days.
