16. ‘And we cried out to יהוה, and He heard our voice and sent the Messenger and brought us up out of Mitsrayim. And see, we are in Qaḏĕsh, a city on the edge of your border.
17. ‘Please let us pass over, through your land. We shall not pass over through fields or vineyards, nor drink water from wells, we shall go along the sovereign’s highway. We shall not turn aside, right or left, until we have passed over your border.’ ”
18. But Eḏom said to him, “You do not pass over through me, lest I come out against you with the sword.”
19. And the children of Yisra’ĕl said to him, “We shall go by the highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then I shall pay for it. Let me only pass over on foot, without a word.”
20. But he said, “You do not pass over.” And Eḏom came out against them with many men and with a strong hand.
21. So when Eḏom refused to let Yisra’ĕl pass over through his border, Yisra’ĕl turned away from him.
22. And the children of Yisra’ĕl, all the company, departed from Qaḏĕsh and came to Mount Hor.
23. And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in Mount Hor near the border of the land of Eḏom, saying,
24. “Aharon is to be gathered to his people, for he is not to enter the land which I have given to the children of Yisra’ĕl, because you rebelled against My mouth at the water of Meriḇah.
25. “Take Aharon and El‛azar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor,
26. and strip Aharon of his garments and put them on El‛azar his son, for Aharon is to be gathered to his people and die there.”
27. And Mosheh did as יהוה commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the congregation.
28. And Mosheh stripped Aharon of his garments and put them on El‛azar his son. And Aharon died there on the top of the mountain. And Mosheh and El‛azar came down from the mountain.
