Numbers 20:25 In-Context

23 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom,
24 "Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the people of Israel, because you rebelled against my command at the waters of Mer'ibah.
25 Take Aaron and Elea'zar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Elea'zar his son; and Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and shall die there."
27 Moses did as the LORD commanded; and they went up Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
