22 ¶ And when the children of Israel with all the Congregation departed from (A)Kadesh, they came unto mount Hor.

23 And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron in the mount Hor near the coast of the land of Edom, saying,

24 Aaron shall be [a]gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land, which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye [b]disobeyed my commandment at the water of [c]Meribah.

25 Take (B)Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up into the mount Hor,

26 And cause Aaron to put off his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: for Aaron shall be gathered to his fathers, and shall die there.

27 And Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into the mount Hor, in the sight of all the Congregation.

28 And Moses put off Aaron’s clothes, and put them upon Eleazar his son: (C)so Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from off the mount.

29 When all the Congregation saw that Aaron was dead, all the house of Israel [d]wept for Aaron thirty days.
