Numbers 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.

veneruntque filii Israhel et omnis multitudo in desertum Sin mense primo et mansit populus in Cades mortuaque est ibi Maria et sepulta in eodem loco

And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

cumque indigeret aqua populus coierunt adversum Mosen et Aaron

And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

et versi in seditionem dixerunt utinam perissemus inter fratres nostros coram Domino

And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?

cur eduxistis ecclesiam Domini in solitudinem ut et nos et nostra iumenta moriantur

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.

quare nos fecistis ascendere de Aegypto et adduxistis in locum istum pessimum qui seri non potest qui nec ficum gignit nec vineas nec mala granata insuper et aquam non habet ad bibendum

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.

ingressusque Moses et Aaron dimissa multitudine tabernaculum foederis corruerunt proni in terram et apparuit gloria Domini super eos

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

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.

tolle virgam et congrega populum tu et Aaron frater tuus et loquimini ad petram coram eis et illa dabit aquas cumque eduxeris aquam de petra bibet omnis multitudo et iumenta eius

And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

tulit igitur Moses virgam quae erat in conspectu Domini sicut praeceperat ei

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?

congregata multitudine ante petram dixitque eis audite rebelles et increduli num de petra hac vobis aquam poterimus eicere

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.

cumque elevasset Moses manum percutiens virga bis silicem egressae sunt aquae largissimae ita ut et populus biberet et iumenta

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.

dixitque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron quia non credidistis mihi ut sanctificaretis me coram filiis Israhel non introducetis hos populos in terram quam dabo eis

This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

haec est aqua Contradictionis ubi iurgati sunt filii Israhel contra Dominum et sanctificatus est in eis

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:

misit interea nuntios Moses de Cades ad regem Edom qui dicerent haec mandat frater tuus Israhel nosti omnem laborem qui adprehendit nos

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

quomodo descenderint patres nostri in Aegyptum et habitaverimus ibi multo tempore adflixerintque nos Aegyptii et patres nostros

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:

et quomodo clamaverimus ad Dominum et exaudierit nos miseritque angelum qui eduxerit nos de Aegypto ecce in urbe Cades quae est in extremis finibus tuis positi

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.

obsecramus ut nobis transire liceat per terram tuam non ibimus per agros nec per vineas non bibemus aquas de puteis tuis sed gradiemur via publica nec ad dextram nec ad sinistram declinantes donec transeamus terminos tuos

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

cui respondit Edom non transibis per me alioquin armatus occurram tibi

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 any thing else, go through on my feet.

dixeruntque filii Israhel per tritam gradiemur viam et si biberimus aquas tuas nos et pecora nostra dabimus quod iustum est nulla erit in pretio difficultas tantum velociter transeamus

And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

at ille respondit non transibis statimque egressus est obvius cum infinita multitudine et manu forti

Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.

nec voluit adquiescere deprecanti ut concederet transitum per fines suos quam ob rem devertit ab eo Israhel

And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.

cumque castra movissent de Cades venerunt in montem Or qui est in finibus terrae Edom

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

ubi locutus est Dominus ad Mosen

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.

pergat inquit Aaron ad populos suos non enim intrabit terram quam dedi filiis Israhel eo quod incredulus fuerit ori meo ad aquas Contradictionis

Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:

tolle Aaron et filium eius cum eo et duces eos in montem Or

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.

cumque nudaveris patrem veste sua indues ea Eleazarum filium eius et Aaron colligetur et morietur ibi

And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

fecit Moses ut praeceperat Dominus et ascenderunt in montem Or coram omni multitudine

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.

cumque Aaron spoliasset vestibus suis induit eis Eleazarum filium eius illo mortuo in montis supercilio descendit cum Eleazaro

And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

omnis autem multitudo videns occubuisse Aaron flevit super eo triginta diebus per cunctas familias suas
