摩西举手，用杖击打磐石两下，就有许多水流出来，会众和他们的牲畜都喝了。
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.
我们哀求耶和华的时候，他听了我们的声音，差遣使者把我们从埃及领出来。这事你都知道。如今，我们在你边界上的城加低斯。
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:
求你容我们从你的地经过。我们不走田间和葡萄园，也不喝井里的水，只走大道（原文作王道），不偏左右，直到过了你的境界。
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.
以东王说，你不可从我的地经过，免得我带刀出去攻击你。
And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
以东王说，你们不可经过。就率领许多人出来，要用强硬的手攻击以色列人。
And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
这样，以东王不肯容以色列人从他的境界过去。于是他们转去，离开他。
Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
耶和华在附近以东边界的何珥山上晓谕摩西，亚伦说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
你带亚伦和他的儿子以利亚撒上何珥山，
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
摩西就照耶和华所吩咐的行。三人当着会众的眼前上了何珥山。
And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
摩西把亚伦的圣衣脱下来，给他的儿子以利亚撒穿上，亚伦就死在山顶那里。于是摩西和以利亚撒下了山。
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.
