At this, when they had broken up the gathering, Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle that bore record of the covenant, and there cast themselves down to earth in entreaty. Lord God, they said, listen to the plea made by this people of thine, and open to them thy store-house of fresh water, to content them and put an end to their complaints! Then the bright presence of the Lord was revealed to them; (Numbers 20, 6)
Take thy rod with thee, and do thou and thy brother Aaron gather all the people together. Before their eyes, lay thy command upon the rock here, and it will yield water. This water thou bringest out of the rock will suffice to give drink to the whole multitude, and to their cattle. (Numbers 20, 8)
So Moses took up the rod, there in the Lord’s presence, as he was bidden, (Numbers 20, 9)
and they made the people gather before the rock. Listen to me, he said, faithless rebels; are we to get you water out of this rock? (Numbers 20, 10)
Twice Moses lifted his hand, and smote the rock with his rod; whereupon water gushed out in abundance, so that all the people and their cattle had enough to drink. (Numbers 20, 11)
This is the place called the Water of Rebellion, where the Israelites challenged the Lord, and he vindicated his holiness before them. (Numbers 20, 13)
From Cades, Moses sent envoys to the king of Edom, with a message to him from his brethren of Israel: Thou knowest what hardships have overtaken us; (Numbers 20, 14)
how our fathers made their way into Egypt, how they and we were ill-used by the Egyptians during the long time we spent there, (Numbers 20, 15)
how we cried out to the Lord, till he listened to us and sent an angel to rescue us from Egypt. And now we are here at Cades, on the frontier of thy dominions; (Numbers 20, 16)
what we ask of thee is leave to pass through this land of thine. There shall be no marching through fields or vineyards, no drinking at thy wells; we will travel by the high road, not to right or left, until we have passed beyond thy frontiers. (Numbers 20, 17)
But the Edomites refused to let them pass, threatening armed resistance. (Numbers 20, 18)
still Edom refused, coming out to meet them there and then in great force, ready to overpower them. (Numbers 20, 20)
