But if a person who is unclean does not purify
himself,
he must be cut off from the community,
because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord.
The water of cleansing has not been sprinkled on him,
and he is unclean.
This is a lasting ordinance for them.
(Numbers 19:20-21)
At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom,
the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
"Aaron will be gathered to his people.
He will not enter the land I give the Israelites,
because both of you rebelled against my command
at the waters of Meribah.
Get Aaron and his son Eleazar
and take them up Mount Hor.
Remove Aaron's garments
and put them on his son Eleazar,
for Aaron will be gathered to his people;
he will die there."
(Numbers 20:23-26)
Then they turned and went up along the road
toward Bashan,
and Og king of Bashan and his whole army
marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei.
The Lord said to Moses,
"Do not be afraid of him,
for I have handed him over to you,
with his whole army and his land.
Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites,
who reigned in Heshbon."
So they struck him down,
together with his sons and his whole army,
leaving them no survivors.
And they took possession of his land.
(Numbers 21:33-35)
Balaam said to the angel of the Lord,
"I have sinned. I did not realize
you were standing in the road to oppose me.
Now if you are displeased,
I will go back."
The angel of the Lord said to Balaam,
"Go with the men,
but speak only what I tell you."
So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
(Numbers 22:34-35)
