Numbers 20:26 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 20:26

And strip Aaron of his garments
His priestly garments, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi:

and put them upon Eleazar his son;
thereby declaring him to be high priest in his father's stead:

and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there;
the phrase of gathering to his people is here explained of his dying.

Numbers 20:26 In-Context

24 "Aharon is about to be gathered to his people, because he is not to enter the land I have given to the people of Isra'el, inasmuch as you rebelled against what I said at the M'rivah Spring.

25 Take Aharon and El'azar his son, bring them up to Mount Hor,

26 remove the garments from Aharon and put them on El'azar his son. Aharon will be gathered to his people - he will die there."

27 Moshe did as ADONAI had ordered. They went up onto Mount Hor before the eyes of the whole community.

28 Moshe removed the garments from Aharon, and put them on El'azar his son, and Aharon died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moshe and El'azar came down the mountain.
