Aaron’s Death

²²After they set out from Kadesh, the entire Israelite community came to Mount Hor.^(A) ²³The Lord said to Moses and Aaron at Mount Hor on the border of the land of Edom, ²⁴“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land I have given the Israelites, because you both rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah. ²⁵Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor. ²⁶Remove Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will be gathered to his people and die there.”

²⁷So Moses did as the Lord commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community. ²⁸After Moses removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

Instructions for Occupying Canaan

⁵⁰The Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan across from Jericho, ⁵¹“Tell the Israelites: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan, ⁵²you must drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you, destroy all their stone images^(M) and cast images,^(N) and demolish all their high places. ⁵³You are to take possession of the land and settle in it because I have given you the land^(O) to possess. ⁵⁴You are to receive the land as an inheritance by lot according to your clans. Increase the inheritance for a large clan and decrease it for a small one. Whatever place the lot indicates for someone will be his. You will receive an inheritance according to your ancestral tribes. ⁵⁵But if you don’t drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become thorns in your eyes and in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live. ⁵⁶And what I had planned to do to them, I will do to you.”^(P)
