2 And there was no Water for the Congregation and they gathered themselves together against Moses, and against Aaron.

3 And the People chode with Mofes, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our Brethren died before the LORD.

4 And why have ye brought up the Congregation of the LORD into this Wilderness, that we and our Cattle should die there?

5 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 Vines, or of Pomegranates, neither is there any Water to drink.

6 And Mofes and Aaron went from the Prefence of the Affembly, into the Door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and they fell upon their Faces: and the Glory of the LORD appeared unto them.

13 This is the Water of Meribah, because the Children of Ifrael ftrove with the LORD, and he was fanctified in them.

22 And the Children of Ifrael, even the whole Congregation, journied from Kadesh, and came unto Mount Hor. 23 And the LORD fpake unto Mofes and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the Coaft of the Land of Edom, faying,

24 Aaron fhall be gathered unto his People: for he fhall not enter into the Land which I have given unto the Children of Ifrael, because ye rebelled against my Word at the Water of Meribah.

25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his Son, and bring them up unto Mount Hor:

26 And ftrip Aaron of his Garments, and put them upon Eleazar his Son and Aaron fhall be gathered unto his People, and fhall die there.

2 And Ifrael vowed a Vow unto the LORD, and faid, If thou wilt indeed deliver this People into my Hand, then I will utterly deftroy their Cities.

3 And the LORD hearkned to the Voice of Ifrael, and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their Cities: and he called the Name of the Place Hormah.

4 And they journied from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to compafs the Land of Edom and the Soul of the People was much difcouraged because of the Way.

5 And the People fpake against GOD, and against Mofes, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt, to die in the Wilderness for there is no Bread, neither is there any Water, and our Soul loatheth this light Bread.

6 And the LORD fent fiery Serpents among the People; and they bit the People, and much People of Ifrael died.

7 Therefore the People came to Mofes, and faid, We have finned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD that he take away the Serpents from us and Mofes prayed for the People.

8 And the LORD faid unto Mofes, Make thee a fiery Serpent, and fet it upon a Pole and it fhall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, fhall live.

9 And MOSES made a SERPENT of Brafs, and put it upon a Pole, and it came to pafs, that if a SERPENT had bitten any Man, when he beheld the Serpent of Brass, he LIVED.

18 He that BELIEVETH ON HIM, is NOT CONDEMNED; but he that BELIEVETH NOT, IS CONDEMNED already, becaufe he hath NOT BELIEVED in the Name of the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of God.
