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 "It's time for Aaron to be gathered into the company of his ancestors. He will not enter the land I am giving to the People of Israel because you both rebelled against my orders at the Waters of Meribah.

25 So take Aaron and his son Eleazar and lead them up Mount Hor.

26 Remove Aaron's clothes from him and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered there; Aaron will die."

27 Moses obeyed God's command. They climbed Mount Hor as the whole congregation watched.

28 Moses took off Aaron's clothes and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron died on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
