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.

24 "Aaron is not going to enter the land which I promised to give to Israel; he is going to die, because the two of you rebelled against my command at Meribah.

25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar up Mount Hor,

26 and there remove Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there."

27 Moses did what the Lord had commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community,

28 and Moses removed Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. There on the top of the mountain Aaron died, and Moses and Eleazar came back down.
