You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who called on His name;
They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel.

He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron, whom He had chosen.

When they became envious of Moses in the camp,
And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,

Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah,
So that it went hard with Moses on their account;
