Aaron Dies on Mount Hor

²²The entire Israelite community left Kadesh and traveled to Mount Hor. ²³At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, ²⁴Aaron will be gathered to his people, for he will not enter the land I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah. ²⁵Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor. ²⁶Remove Aaron's priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will die there on the mountain." ²⁷Moses did exactly what the LORD commanded. The three of them climbed Mount Hor while the entire community watched. ²⁸Moses removed Aaron's priestly garments and placed them on Eleazar. Then Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Moses and Eleazar came back down. ²⁹When the whole community realized that Aaron was dead, the entire house of Israel mourned for him for 30 days.
