Números 20:23-26

23 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón en el monte Hor, en la frontera de la tierra de Edom, diciendo:

24 Aarón será reunido a su pueblo, pues no entrará a la tierra que yo he dado a los hijos de Israel, porque vosotros os rebelasteis contra mi orden en las aguas de Meriba.

25 Toma a Aarón y a su hijo Eleazar y tráelos al monte Hor;

26 y quita a Aarón sus vestidos y ponlos sobre su hijo Eleazar. Entonces Aarón será reunido a su pueblo, y morirá allí.
