- 1Then 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.וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ בְנֵֽי יִ֠שְׂרָאֵל כָּל הָ֨עֵדָ֤ה מִדְבַּר צִן֙ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָֽרִאשׁ֔וֹן וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב הָעָ֖ם בְּקָדֵ֑שׁ וַתָּ֤מָת שָׁם֙ מִרְיָ֔ם וַתִּקָּבֵ֖ר שָֽׁם
- 2And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.וְלֹא הָ֥יָה מַ֖יִם לָעֵדָ֑ה וַיִּקָּ֣הֲל֔וּ עַל מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְעַֽל אַהֲרֹֽן
- 3And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!וַיָּ֥רֶב הָעָ֖ם עִם מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לֵאמֹ֔ר וְל֥וּ גָוַ֛עְנוּ בִּגְוַ֥ע אַחֵ֖ינוּ לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה
- 4And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?וְלָמָ֤ה הֲבֵאתֶם֙ אֶת קְהַ֣ל יְהוָ֔ה אֶל הַמִּדְבָּ֖ר הַזֶּ֑ה לָמ֣וּת שָׁ֔ם אֲנַ֖חְנוּ וּבְעִירֵֽנוּ
- 5And 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.וְלָמָ֤ה הֶֽעֱלִיתֻ֨נוּ֙ מִמִּצְרַ֔יִם לְהָבִ֣יא אֹתָ֔נוּ אֶל הַמָּק֥וֹם הָרָ֖ע הַזֶּ֑ה לֹ֣א מְק֣וֹם זֶ֗רַע וּתְאֵנָ֤ה וְגֶ֨פֶן֙ וְרִמּ֔וֹן וּמַ֥יִם אַ֖יִן לִשְׁתּֽוֹת
- 6And 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.וַיָּבֹא֩ מֹשֶׁ֨ה וְאַהֲרֹ֜ן מִפְּנֵ֣י הַקָּהָ֗ל אֶל פֶּ֨תַח֙ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד וַֽיִּפְּל֖וּ עַל פְּנֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֵּרָ֥א כְבוֹד יְהוָ֖ה אֲלֵיהֶֽם
- 7And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר
- 8Take 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.קַ֣ח אֶת הַמַּטֶּ֗ה וְהַקְהֵ֤ל אֶת הָעֵדָה֙ אַתָּה֙ וְאַהֲרֹ֣ן אָחִ֔יךָ וְדִבַּרְתֶּ֧ם אֶל הַסֶּ֛לַע לְעֵינֵיהֶ֖ם וְנָתַ֣ן מֵימָ֑יו וְהוֹצֵאתָ֨ מַ֨יִם֙ מִן הַסֶּ֔לַע וְהִשְׁקִיתָ֥ אֶת הָעֵדָ֖ה וְאֶת בְּעִירָֽם
- 9And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.וַיִּקַּ֥ח מֹשֶׁ֛ה אֶת הַמַּטֶּ֖ה מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּֽהוּ
- 10And 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?וַיַּקְהִ֜לוּ מֹשֶׁ֧ה וְאַהֲרֹ֛ן אֶת הַקָּהָ֖ל אֶל פְּנֵ֣י הַסָּ֑לַע וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שִׁמְעוּ נָא֙ הַמֹּרִ֔ים הֲמִן הַסֶּ֣לַע הַזֶּ֔ה נוֹצִ֥יא מָֽיִם
- 11And 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.וַיָּ֨רֶם מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶת יָד֗וֹ וַיַּ֧ךְ אֶת הַסֶּ֛לַע בְּמַטֵּ֖הוּ פַּעֲמָ֑יִם וַיֵּצְאוּ֙ מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֔ים וַתֵּ֥שְׁתְּ הָעֵדָ֖ה וּבְעִירָֽם
- 12And 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.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָה֮ אֶל מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאֶֽל אַהֲרֹן֒ יַ֚עַן לֹא הֶאֱמַנְתֶּ֣ם לְהַ֨קְדִּישֵׁ֔נִי לְעֵינֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לָכֵ֗ן לֹ֤א תָבִ֨יאוּ֙ אֶת הַקָּהָ֣ל הַזֶּ֔ה אֶל הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲשֶׁר נָתַ֥תִּי
- 13This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.הֵ֚מָּה מֵ֣י מְרִיבָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר רָב֥וּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶת יְהוָ֑ה וַיִּקָּדֵ֖שׁ
- 14And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:וַיִּשְׁלַ֨ח מֹשֶׁ֧ה מַלְאָכִ֛ים מִקָּדֵ֖שׁ אֶל מֶ֣לֶךְ אֱד֑וֹם כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אָחִ֣יךָ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַתָּ֣ה יָדַ֔עְתָּ אֵ֥ת כָּל הַתְּלָאָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר מְצָאָֽתְנוּ
- 15How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:וַיֵּרְד֤וּ אֲבֹתֵ֨ינוּ֙ מִצְרַ֔יְמָה וַנֵּ֥שֶׁב בְּמִצְרַ֖יִם יָמִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וַיָּרֵ֥עוּ מִצְרַ֖יִם וְלַאֲבֹתֵֽינוּ
- 16And 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:וַנִּצְעַ֤ק אֶל יְהוָה֙ וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע קֹלֵ֔נוּ וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח מַלְאָ֔ךְ וַיֹּצִאֵ֖נוּ מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם וְהִנֵּה֙ אֲנַ֣חְנוּ בְקָדֵ֔שׁ עִ֖יר קְצֵ֥ה גְבוּלֶֽךָ
- 17Let 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.נַעְבְּרָה נָּ֣א בְאַרְצֶ֗ךָ לֹ֤א נַעֲבֹר֙ בְּשָׂדֶ֣ה וּבְכֶ֔רֶם וְלֹ֥א נִשְׁתֶּ֖ה מֵ֣י בְאֵ֑ר דֶּ֧רֶךְ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ נֵלֵ֗ךְ לֹ֤א נִטֶּה֙ יָמִ֣ין וּשְׂמֹ֔אול עַ֥ד אֲשֶֽׁר נַעֲבֹ֖ר גְּבוּלֶֽךָ
- 18And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אֵלָיו֙ אֱד֔וֹם לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹ֖ר פֶּן בַּחֶ֖רֶב אֵצֵ֥א לִקְרָאתֶֽךָ
- 19And 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.וַיֹּאמְר֨וּ אֵלָ֥יו בְּנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל בַּֽמְסִלָּ֣ה נַעֲלֶה֒ וְאִם מֵימֶ֤יךָ נִשְׁתֶּה֙ אֲנִ֣י וּמִקְנַ֔י וְנָתַתִּ֖י מִכְרָ֑ם רַ֥ק אֵין דָּבָ֖ר בְּרַגְלַ֥י אֶֽעֱבֹֽרָה
- 20And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.וַיֹּ֖אמֶר לֹ֣א תַעֲבֹ֑ר וַיֵּצֵ֤א אֱדוֹם֙ לִקְרָאת֔וֹ בְּעַ֥ם כָּבֵ֖ד וּבְיָ֥ד חֲזָקָֽה
- 21Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.וַיְמָאֵ֣ן אֱד֗וֹם נְתֹן֙ אֶת יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עֲבֹ֖ר בִּגְבֻל֑וֹ וַיֵּ֥ט יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵעָלָֽיו
- 22And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.וַיִּסְע֖וּ מִקָּדֵ֑שׁ וַיָּבֹ֧אוּ בְנֵֽי יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל כָּל הָעֵדָ֖ה הֹ֥ר הָהָֽר
- 23And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,וַיֹּ֧אמֶר יְהוָ֛ה אֶל מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל אַהֲרֹ֖ן בְּהֹ֣ר הָהָ֑ר עַל גְּב֥וּל אֶֽרֶץ אֱד֖וֹם לֵאמֹֽר
- 24Aaron 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.יֵאָסֵ֤ף אַהֲרֹן֙ אֶל עַמָּ֔יו כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יָבֹא֙ אֶל הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָתַ֖תִּי לִבְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל עַ֛ל אֲשֶׁר מְרִיתֶ֥ם אֶת פִּ֖י לְמֵ֥י מְרִיבָֽה
- 25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:קַ֚ח אֶֽת אַהֲרֹ֔ן וְאֶת אֶלְעָזָ֖ר בְּנ֑וֹ וְהַ֥עַל אֹתָ֖ם הֹ֥ר הָהָֽר
- 26And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.וְהַפְשֵׁ֤ט אֶֽת אַהֲרֹן֙ אֶת בְּגָדָ֔יו וְהִלְבַּשְׁתָּ֖ם אֶת אֶלְעָזָ֣ר בְּנ֑וֹ וְאַהֲרֹ֥ן יֵאָסֵ֖ף וּמֵ֥ת שָֽׁם
- 27And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.וַיַּ֣עַשׂ מֹשֶׁ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר צִוָּ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה וַֽיַּעֲלוּ֙ אֶל הֹ֣ר הָהָ֔ר לְעֵינֵ֖י כָּל הָעֵדָֽה
- 28And 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.וַיַּפְשֵׁט֩ מֹשֶׁ֨ה אֶֽת אַהֲרֹ֜ן אֶת בְּגָדָ֗יו וַיַּלְבֵּ֤שׁ אֹתָם֙ אֶת אֶלְעָזָ֣ר בְּנ֔וֹ וַיָּ֧מָת אַהֲרֹ֛ן שָׁ֖ם בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הָהָ֑ר וַיֵּ֧רֶד מֹשֶׁ֛ה וְאֶלְעָזָ֖ר מִן הָהָֽר
- 29And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.וַיִּרְאוּ֙ כָּל הָ֣עֵדָ֔ה כִּ֥י גָוַ֖ע אַהֲרֹ֑ן וַיִּבְכּ֤וּ אֶֽת אַהֲרֹן֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים י֔וֹם כֹּ֖ל בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
Lexical definitions describe possible word ranges, not automatic interpretations of a verse. See the concordance guide, gematria method, and source policy.
