Context

The Death of Aaron

²⁴“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.²⁵Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.²⁶Remove Aaron’s priestly garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and will die there.”

Summary

In Numbers 20:25, we see the Lord instructing Moses to take Aaron and his son Eleazar up Mount Hor. This is a significant moment as Aaron, the high priest of Israel, is being transferred of his duties to his son Eleazar. This passing of the torch symbolizes the continuity of the priesthood and the faithfulness of God's plan for His people. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience and succession in leadership within the community of believers.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

And strip Aaron of his garments,.... His priestly garments, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi: and put them upon Eleazar his son; thereby declaring him to be high priest in his father's stead: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there; the phrase of gathering to his people is here explained of his dying.
