Números 20:22 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 20:22

And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation,
journeyed from Kadesh
Not directly, but after they had continued there some time, and had furnished themselves with provisions for their journey, which they bought of the Edomites, see ( Judges 11:17 ) , "the whole congregation" is observed to Journey from hence, not one of them being lost by the king of Edom's coming out against them; these went out complete and perfect, safe and sound:

and came unto Mount Hor;
which, according to Bunting ^F6, was forty eight miles from Kadesh; this had not its name from the Horim or Horites, nor they from that, their name being written with a different letter, but from Harar, a mountain, for the word itself signifies a mountain; wherefore it may be rendered, "a mountain of the mountain", which Jarchi interprets a mountain on the top of a mountain.

FOOTNOTES:

F7 says, that here stood a city, formerly called Arce, since Petra, surrounded with an high mountain, where Aaron went and died; and Pliny says ^F8 of Petra, that it is encompassed with inaccessible mountains.

Números 20:22 In-Context

20 Aun así, el rey de Edom respondió: «¡Quédense fuera! Ustedes no pueden pasar por nuestra tierra». Dicho esto movilizó su ejército y salió contra ellos con una fuerza imponente.

21 Y como Edom no le permitió a los israelitas atravesar su país, se vieron obligados a regresar.

22 Muerte de Aarón
Toda la comunidad israelita partió de Cades y llegó al monte Hor.

23 Allí, en la frontera de la tierra de Edom, el Señor
les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:

24 «Ha llegado el momento en que Aarón se reúna con sus antepasados al morir. Él no entrará a la tierra que le daré al pueblo de Israel, porque ustedes dos se rebelaron contra mis instrucciones con respecto al agua en Meriba.
