04:020:020 And he said, Thou shalt not go through.
And Edom came out
against
him with much people, and with a strong hand.
04:020:021 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage
through his border:
wherefore
Israel turned away from him.
04:020:022 And the children of Israel, even the whole
congregation,
journeyed
from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
04:020:023 And the lord spake unto Moses and
Aaron in mount Hor, by the
coast
of the land of Edom, saying,
04:020:024 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.
04:020:025 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring
them up unto mount
Hor:
04:020:026 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.
04:020:027 And Moses did as the lord commanded:
and they went up into
mount
Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
04:020:028 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.
04:020:029 And when all the congregation saw that
Aaron was dead, they
mourned
for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
04:021:001 And when king Arad the Canaanite, which
dwelt in the south,
heard
tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then
he
fought
against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
04:021:002 And Israel vowed a vow unto the lord,
and said, If thou wilt
indeed
deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly
destroy
their cities.
04:021:003 And the lord hearkened to the voice
of Israel, and delivered
up
the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and
their
cities:
and he called the name of the place Hormah.
04:021:004 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the
way of the Red sea,
to
compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the
people was
much
discouraged because of the way.
04:021:005 And the people spake against God, and against
Moses, Wherefore
have
ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
for
there is no bread, neither is there any water; and
our
soul
loatheth this light bread.
04:021:006 And the lord sent fiery serpents among
the people, and they
bit
the people; and much people of Israel died.
