The Death of Aaron (NUM 20:22-29)

[20:22] The whole community of Israel left Kadesh and arrived at Mount Hor,

[20:23] on the border of Edom. There the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

[20:24] “Aaron is not going to enter the land which I promised to give to Israel; he is going to die, because the two of you rebelled against my command at Meribah.

[20:25] Take Aaron and his son Eleazar up Mount Hor,

[20:26] and there remove Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there.”

[20:27] Moses did what the Lord had commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community,

[20:28] and Moses removed Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. There on the top of the mountain Aaron died, and Moses and Eleazar came back down.

[20:29] The whole community learned that Aaron had died, and they all mourned for him for thirty days.
