Numbers 20:25

Numbers 20:25 In-Context

23 Yahweh said to Moses and to Aaron on Mount Hor, on the boundary of the land of Edom, saying,

24 "Let Aaron be gathered to his people; he will not come into the land that I have given to the {Israelites} because you rebelled against {my word} at the waters of Meribah.

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

26 Strip off Aaron's garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; Aaron will be gathered [to his people], and he will die there."

27 So Moses did just as Yahweh commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the community.
