¹² But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy^(A) in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.”^(B)

²³ At Mount Hor, near the border of Edom,^(A) the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ²⁴ “Aaron will be gathered to his people.^(B) He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command^(C) at the waters of Meribah.^{(D) 25} Get Aaron and his son Eleazar and take them up Mount Hor.^{(E) 26} Remove Aaron’s garments^(F) and put them on his son Eleazar, for Aaron will be gathered to his people;^(G) he will die there.”

²⁷ Moses did as the Lord commanded: They went up Mount Hor^(H) in the sight of the whole community. ²⁸ Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar.^(I) And Aaron died there^(J) on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain, ²⁹ and when the whole community learned that Aaron had died,^(K) all the Israelites mourned for him^(L) thirty days.
