    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.)

    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.”

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

    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.

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.

Numbers names Bene Jaakan and Deuteronomy Beeroth Bene Jaakan, and both name Jotbathah. Deuteronomy also names Moserah and Gudgodah, Numbers Moseroth and Hor Haggidgad; Deuteronomy goes from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah, Numbers from Moseroth to Bene Jaakan. This collection records Beeroth Bene Jaakan, whose name carries Bene Jaakan whole, under Bene Jaakan, though the text does not say they are one place. It keeps Moserah and Gudgodah, whose names differ, apart from Moseroth and Hor Haggidgad, does not decide whether they are the same places, and does not reconcile the order of the two journeys.
