04:020:006 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.

04:020:007 And the lord spake unto Moses, saying,

04:020:008 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.

04:020:009 And Moses took the rod from before the lord, as he commanded
           him.

04:020:010 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?

04:020:011 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.

04:020:012 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.

04:020:013 This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel
           strove with the lord, and he was sanctified in them.

04:020:014 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: 

04:020:015 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in
           Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our
           fathers: 

04:020:016 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: 

04:020:017 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.

04:020:018 And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come
           out against thee with the sword.

04:020:019 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.
