And the Lord spake unto Moses & Aaron: Because ye believed me not / to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel / therefore ye shall not bring this congregation in to the land which I have given them. This is the water of strife / because the children of Israel strove with the Lord / & he was sanctified upon them.
And the Lorde spake vnto Moses & Aaron: Because ye beleued me not / to sanctifye me in the eyes of the childern of Israel / therfore ye shall not brynge this congregacion in to the londe which I haue geuen them. This is the water ofstryffe / because the childern of Israel stroue with the Lorde / & he was sanctifyed apon them.
And Moses sent messengers from cades unto the king of Edom. Thus sayeth thy brother Israel: Thou knowest all the travel that hath happened us / how our fathers went down in to Egypt / and how we have dwelt in Egypt a long time / and how the Egip•ans vexed both us and our fathers. Then ⟨image 286⟩we cried unto the Lord and he heard our voices / and sent an angel and hath fett us out of Egypt. And behold / we are in Cades & city hard by the borders of thy country let us goo a good fellowship through thy country we will not goo through the fields nor through the vineyards / nether will we drink of the water of the fountains: but we will goo by the high way and nether turn unto the right hand nor to the left / until we be past thy country.
