Numberi 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.

Numberi 20:27 In-Context

25 Neem Aaron, en Eleazar, zijn zoon, en doe hen opklimmen tot den berg Hor.

26 En trek Aaron zijn klederen uit, en trek ze Eleazar, zijn zoon, aan; want Aaron zal verzameld worden, en daar sterven.

27 Mozes nu deed, gelijk als de HEERE geboden had; want zij klommen op tot den berg Hor, voor de ogen der ganse vergadering.

28 En Mozes trok Aaron zijn klederen uit, en hij trok ze zijn zoon Eleazar aan; en Aaron stierf aldaar, op de hoogte diens bergs. Toen kwam Mozes en Eleazar van dien berg af.

29 Toen de ganse vergadering zag, dat Aaron overleden was, zo beweenden zij Aaron dertig dagen, het ganse huis van Israel.
