23
God said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor at the border of Edom,
24
"It's time for Aaron to be gathered into the company of his ancestors. He will not enter the land I am giving to the People of Israel because you both rebelled against my orders at the Waters of Meribah.
25
So take Aaron and his son Eleazar and lead them up Mount Hor.
26
Remove Aaron's clothes from him and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered there; Aaron will die."
27
Moses obeyed God's command. They climbed Mount Hor as the whole congregation watched.
