Numeri 20:27 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 20:27

And Moses did as the Lord commanded
Though it must be very cutting, distressing, and afflicting to him, to part with a brother so dear to him, and who had been so many years a companion of him, and a partner with him in the care and government of the people of Israel; but it being the Lord's will, he submits unto it, and faithfully and readily obeyed his orders, as he always did:

and they went up into Mount Hor,
in the sight of all the congregation; that is, Moses, Aaron, and Eleazar, and perhaps there might be some others that went with them as servants, to attend them and assist them in some things to be done, particularly in the burial of Aaron; they all saw Aaron go up, but he came down no more, and so it was ordered in this public manner, that they might be witnesses of the translation of the priesthood from Aaron to Eleazar, who, after this affair was over, came down with Moses.

Numeri 20:27 In-Context

25 Prendi Aaronne ed Eleazar suo figliuolo e falli salire sul monte Hor.

26 Spoglia Aaronne de’ suoi paramenti, e rivestine Eleazar suo figliuolo; quivi Aaronne sarà raccolto presso il suo popolo, e morrà".

27 E Mosè fece come l’Eterno aveva ordinato; ed essi salirono sul monte Hor, a vista di tutta la raunanza.

28 Mosè spogliò Aaronne de’ suoi paramenti, e ne rivestì Eleazar, figliuolo di lui; e Aaronne morì quivi sulla cima del monte. Poi Mosè ed Eleazar scesero dal monte.

29 E quando tutta la raunanza vide che Aaronne era morto, tutta la casa d’Israele lo pianse per trenta giorni.
