Numbers 20:14-29; In this very impactful chapter, Miriam had died and the Israelite complaining about lack of water had prompted Moses to lose his composure. Instead of speaking to the rock, he struck it twice and was punished by the Lord by losing the privilige of leading the assembly into Canaan. Next they faced untrustful Edom who refused Israel the right of passage down the King’s highway that bisected their country. Finally Moses was instructed to climb Mount Hor with Aaron and son Eleazar to transfer high priestly authority from Aaron, who would be called home to the Lord.
