^6 (A)The Israelites set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan for Moserah; Aaron died there and was buried. His son Eleazar succeeded him as priest.^(B)

²³ There at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: ²⁴ Let Aaron be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land I have given to the Israelites, because you both rebelled against my directions at the waters of Meribah. ²⁵ Take Aaron and Eleazar his son and bring them up on Mount Hor.^{(A) 26} Then strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar, his son; but there Aaron shall be gathered up in death.

²⁷ Moses did as the Lord commanded. When they had climbed Mount Hor in view of the whole community, ²⁸ Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son. Then Aaron died there on top of the mountain.^(B) When Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, ²⁹ all the community understood that Aaron had breathed his last; and for thirty days the whole house of Israel mourned Aaron.

¹³ When you have viewed it, you will be gathered to your people, as was Aaron your brother.^(A)

³⁸ Aaron the priest ascended Mount Hor^(A) at the Lord’s direction, and there he died in the fortieth year after the departure of the Israelites from the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month. ³⁹ Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old when he died on Mount Hor.
