because you trespassed against Me among the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the Israelites.
The south side, toward the Negev, shall run from Tamar even to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, from there along the Brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This shall be the south side, toward the Negev.
Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the Lord spoke, saying: ‘I will be sanctified by those who come near Me; and before all the people I will be glorified.’ ” And Aaron held his peace.
“Aaron will be gathered to his people because he will not enter into the land which I have given to the Israelites because you rebelled against Me at the water of Meribah.
For you rebelled against My commandment in the Wilderness of Zin when the congregation argued against Me. You did not show My holiness at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.)
