Números 20:24-29

24 Arão será recolhido a seu povo, porque não entrará na terra que dei aos filhos de Israel, porquanto fostes rebeldes contra a minha palavra no tocante �s águas de Meribá.

25 Toma a Arão e a Eleazar, seu filho, e faze-os subir ao monte Hor;

26 e despe a Arão as suas vestes, e as veste a Eleazar, seu filho, porque Arão será recolhido, e morrerá ali.

27 Fez, pois, Moisés como o Senhor lhe ordenara; e subiram ao monte Hor perante os olhos de toda a congregação.

28 Moisés despiu a Arão as vestes, e as vestiu a Eleazar, seu filho; e morreu Arão ali sobre o cume do monte; e Moisés e Eleazar desceram do monte.

29 Vendo, pois, toda a congregação que Arão era morto, chorou-o toda a casa de Israel por trinta dias.
