20:14
摩西從加低斯差遣使者去見以東王,說:「你的弟兄以色列人這樣說:『我們所遭遇的一切艱難,
20:15 就是我們的列祖下到埃及,我們在埃及久住;埃及人惡待我們的列祖和我們,
20:16
我們哀求耶和華的時候,他聽了我們的聲音,差遣使者把我們從埃及領出來。這事你都知道。如今,我們在你邊界上的城加低斯。
20:17
求你容我們從你的地經過。我們不走田間和葡萄園,也不喝井裡的水,只走大道(原文作王道),不偏左右,直到過了你的境界。』」
20:18 以東王說:「你不可從我的地經過,免得我帶刀出去攻擊你。」
20:19
以色列人說:「我們要走大道上去;我們和牲畜若喝你的水,必給你價值。不求別的,只求你容我們步行過去。」
20:20 以東王說:「你們不可經過!」就率領許多人出來,要用強硬的手攻擊以色列人。
20:21 這樣,以東王不肯容以色列人從他的境界過去。於是他們轉去,離開他。
20:22 以色列全會眾從加低斯起行,到了何珥山。
20:23 耶和華在附近以東邊界的何珥山上曉諭摩西、亞倫說:
20:24
「亞倫要歸到他列祖(原文作本民)那裡。他必不得入我所賜給以色列人的地;因為在米利巴水,你們違背了我的命。
20:25 你帶亞倫和他的兒子以利亞撒上何珥山,
20:26 把亞倫的聖衣脫下來,給他的兒子以利亞撒穿上;亞倫必死在那裡,歸他列祖。」
20:27 摩西就照耶和華所吩咐的行。三人當著會眾的眼前上了何珥山。
20:28
摩西把亞倫的聖衣脫下來,給他的兒子以利亞撒穿上,亞倫就死在山頂那裡。於是摩西和以利亞撒下了山。
20:29 全會眾,就是以色列全家,見亞倫已經死了,便都為亞倫哀哭了三十天。

以東王不准以色列人過境
20:14
摩西從加低斯派使者去見以東王,他們對以東王說:「你的親屬以色列人有話對你說。你知道我們所遭遇的困難。
20:15 我們的祖先怎樣到埃及去;我們在那裏住了很多年。埃及人虐待我們的祖先和我們,
20:16 我們就呼求上主救助。上主垂聽了我們的哀求,差遣天使把我們領出埃及。現在我們到了你的邊境加低斯城,
20:17
請准許我們經過你的地界。我們和我們的牲畜不會離開大路,走到田裏或葡萄園去;我們也不喝你們井裏的水。我們只走大路,一直通過你的領土。」
20:18 可是,以東王回答:「我不准你們經過我的領土!如果你們來,我就派兵截擊你們。」
20:19 以色列人說:「我們只走大路。如果我們或我們的牲畜喝你的水,我們會付錢的。我們只是過境罷了。」
20:20 以東王又說:「不准!」於是,他派出精銳大軍來攻擊以色列人。
20:21 由於以東王拒絕以色列人通過他的領土,以色列人就轉向另一條路去了。
亞倫之死
20:22
以色列全體會眾離開了加低斯,來到何珥山;
20:23 這山在以東的邊界。上主在那裏對摩西和亞倫說:
20:24 「亞倫不能進入我應許給以色列人的土地;他就要死,因為你們兩人在米利巴違背了我的命令。
20:25 你要帶亞倫和他的兒子以利亞撒上何珥山,
20:26 在那裏脫掉亞倫的祭司袍,給以利亞撒穿上。亞倫就要死在那裏。」
20:27 摩西照著上主的命令做了。他們當著全體會眾上何珥山。
20:28 摩西脫去亞倫的祭司袍,給以利亞撒穿上。亞倫就死在那山頂上;摩西和以利亞撒下山。
20:29 全體會眾知道亞倫死了,就為他舉哀三十天。
思想問題: 當我盡心遵行神的話卻面對困難和不順利時,我以什麼態度來面對?

RSV
20:14 Moses sent messengers
from Kadesh to the king of Edom, "Thus says your brother Israel: You
know all the adversity that has befallen us:
20:15 how our fathers went down to Egypt,
and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt harshly with
us and our fathers;
20:16 and when we cried to the LORD, he
heard our voice, and sent an angel and brought us forth out of Egypt;
and here we are in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your territory.
20:17 Now let us pass through your land. We
will not pass through field or vineyard, neither will we drink water
from a well; we will go along the King's Highway, we will not turn aside
to the right hand or to the left, until we have passed through your
territory."
20:18 But Edom said to him, "You shall not
pass through, lest I come out with the sword against you."
20:19 And the people of Israel said to him,
"We will go up by the highway; and if we drink of your water, I and my
cattle, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot,
nothing more."
20:20 But he said, "You shall not pass
through." And Edom came out against them with many men, and with a
strong force.
20:21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel
passage through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.
20:22 And they journeyed from Kadesh, and
the people of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
20:23 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron
at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom,
20:24 "Aaron shall be gathered to his
people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the people
of Israel, because you rebelled against my command at the waters of
Mer'ibah.
20:25 Take Aaron and Elea'zar his son, and
bring them up to Mount Hor;
20:26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and
put them upon Elea'zar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered to his
people, and shall die there."
20:27 Moses did as the LORD commanded; and
they went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
20:28 And Moses stripped Aaron of his
garments, and put them upon Elea'zar his son; and Aaron died there on
the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Elea'zar came down from the
mountain.
20:29 And when all the congregation saw that
Aaron was dead, all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days.
