Person

Aaron

아론

Recorded as Moses’ brother and spokesman, husband of Elisheba and father of Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. Leviticus 8:12 says Moses poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him, to sanctify him; in chapter 9, on the eighth day, Aaron draws near to the altar, offers his own sin offering and burnt offering and the offering of the people, and lifts up his hands toward the people and blesses them; and at 10:1–3, when Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu have died before the LORD and Moses tells him what the LORD spoke of, Aaron holds his peace. Leviticus 16:1–2 says that after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before the LORD, and died, the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die”; 16:3–25 give what Aaron shall offer and do; and 16:34 ends, “It was done as the LORD commanded Moses”, where the Korean Revised Version says that Aaron did as the LORD commanded Moses. In Numbers 16:46–48 he runs with his censer into the middle of the assembly as Moses said, makes atonement for the people and stands between the dead and the living, and the plague is stayed. In Numbers 20:22–29, because he and Moses rebelled against the LORD’s word at the waters of Meribah, he is not to enter the land given to the children of Israel: on Mount Hor Moses strips him of his garments and puts them on Eleazar his son, Aaron dies on the top of the mountain, and all the congregation weeps for him thirty days. Numbers 33:38–39 says he went up Mount Hor at the LORD’s command and died there on the first day of the fifth month of the fortieth year after the children of Israel came out of Egypt, a hundred and twenty-three years old. Deuteronomy 10:6 says that the children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah, and that there Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.

Unresolved interpretation: Where Aaron died: Moserah and Mount Hor
  • Deuteronomy 10:6 says that the children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah, and that there Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.

    • DEU 10:6–9, engwebp

      6(The children of Israel traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.

      7From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

      8At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to stand before the LORD to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

      9Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD your God spoke to him.)

  • Numbers 20:22–29 has the whole congregation travel from Kadesh to Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, where Moses strips Aaron of his garments and puts them on Eleazar his son, and Aaron dies there on the top of the mountain. Numbers 33:37–39 also has the people travel from Kadesh and encamp in Mount Hor, at the edge of the land of Edom, and Aaron the priest go up into Mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD and die there. Deuteronomy 32:50 also has the LORD tell Moses to die on the mountain “as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor”.

      48The LORD spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

      49“Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.

      50Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people;

      51because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.

      52For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”

    • NUM 20:22–29, engwebp

      22They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

      23The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,

      24“Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.

      25Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

      26and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”

      27Moses did as the LORD commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

      28Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

      29When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.

    • NUM 33:37–40, engwebp

      37They traveled from Kadesh, and encamped in Mount Hor, in the edge of the land of Edom.

      38Aaron the priest went up into Mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month.

      39Aaron was one hundred twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor.

      40The Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 10:6 names Moserah as the place where Aaron died and was buried; Numbers 20:22–29 and 33:37–39, and Deuteronomy 32:50, name Mount Hor as the place where he died. This collection records both as the text gives them and does not decide how Moserah and Mount Hor are related.

Unresolved interpretation: Why Moses may not go over the Jordan
  • Deuteronomy 1:37 says, “Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, ‘You also shall not go in there’”; 3:26, “But the LORD was angry with me because of you”; and 4:21, “Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.”

      34The LORD heard the voice of your words and was angry, and swore, saying,

      35“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to your fathers,

      36except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.”

      37Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.

      38Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

      39Moreover your little ones, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, and they shall possess it.

      40But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.”

    • DEU 3:26–28, engwebp

      26But the LORD was angry with me because of you, and didn’t listen to me. The LORD said to me, “That is enough! Speak no more to me of this matter.

      27Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.

      28But commission Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.”

    • DEU 4:21–24, engwebp

      21Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance;

      22but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.

      23Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.

      24For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

  • Deuteronomy 32:51 has the LORD give Moses the reason: “because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel.” Numbers 20:12 also has the LORD say to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

    • NUM 20:2–13, engwebp

      2There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.

      3The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before the LORD!

      4Why have you brought the LORD’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?

      5Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.”

      6Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. The LORD’s glory appeared to them.

      7The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

      8“Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”

      9Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.

      10Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”

      11Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.

      12The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

      13These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.

The words of Deuteronomy 1–4 give the people as the cause, while 32:51 and Numbers 20:12 give what happened at the waters of Meribah. This collection does not reconcile the two or decide between them.
