Bamidbar 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.
