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 "Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land I have given the Israelites, because you both rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.

25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.

26 Remove Aaron's garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered [to his people] and die there."

27 So Moses did as the Lord commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community.

28 After Moses removed Aaron's garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
