Numeri 20:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 20:27

And Moses did as the Lord commanded
Though it must be very cutting, distressing, and afflicting to him, to part with a brother so dear to him, and who had been so many years a companion of him, and a partner with him in the care and government of the people of Israel; but it being the Lord's will, he submits unto it, and faithfully and readily obeyed his orders, as he always did:

and they went up into Mount Hor,
in the sight of all the congregation; that is, Moses, Aaron, and Eleazar, and perhaps there might be some others that went with them as servants, to attend them and assist them in some things to be done, particularly in the burial of Aaron; they all saw Aaron go up, but he came down no more, and so it was ordered in this public manner, that they might be witnesses of the translation of the priesthood from Aaron to Eleazar, who, after this affair was over, came down with Moses.

Numeri 20:27 In-Context

25 Prendi Aaronne ed Eleazaro suo figliuolo; e falli salire in sul monte di Hor.

26 E spoglia Aaronne dei suoi vestimenti, e vestine Eleazaro, suo figliuolo; ed Aaronne sarà quivi raccolto, e morrà.

27 E Mosè fece come il Signore gli avea comandato; ed essi salirono in sul monte di Hor, alla vista di tutta la raunanza.

28 E Mosè spogliò Aaronne dei suoi vestimenti, e li fece vestire a Eleazaro, figliuolo di esso; ed Aaronne morì quivi in su la sommità del monte. Poi Mosè ed Eleazaro scesero giù dal monte.

29 E avendo tutta la raunanza veduto che Aaronne era trapassato, tutte le famiglie d’Israele lo piansero per trenta giorni.
