The Deaths of Miriam and Aaron

In the first month
the whole Israelite community
arrived at the Desert of Zin,
and they stayed in Kadesh.
There Miriam died and was buried.

The whole Israelite community set out from Kadesh
and came to Mount Hor.
At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom,
the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
"Aaron will be gathered to his people.
He will not enter the land I give the Israelites,
because both of you rebelled against My command
at the waters of Meribah.
Get Aaron and his son Eleazar
and take them up Mount Hor.
Remove Aaron's garments
and put them on his son Eleazar,
for Aaron will be gathered to his people;
he will die there.

Moses did as the Lord commanded:
They went up Mount Hor
in the sight of the whole community.
Moses removed Aaron's garments
and put them on his son Eleazar.
And Aaron died there on top of the mountain.
Then Moses and Eleazar
came down from the mountain,
and when the whole community learned
that Aaron had died,
the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.

(Numbers 20:1, 22-29)
