Deuteronomy 10:6 6 "And the sons of Israel pulled away from Be�er'oth Ben'e-ja'a�kan for Mo�se'rah. There Aaron died, and he got to be buried there; and El�e�a'zar his son began to act as priest instead of him. Numbers 20:27-29 27 So Moses did just as Jehovah had commanded; and before the eyes of all the assembly they went climbing Mount Hor. 28 Then Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and clothed El�e�a'zar his son with them, after which Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. And Moses and El�e�a'zar came on down from the mountain. 29 And all the assembly got to see that Aaron had expired, and all the house of Israel continued weeping for Aaron thirty days. Numbers 33:37-39 37 Later they pulled away from Ka'desh and went camping in Mount Hor, on the frontier of the land of E'dom. 38 And Aaron the priest proceeded to go up into Mount Hor at the order of Jehovah and to die there in the fortieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first of the month. 39 And Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old at his death on Mount Hor. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
