Editing Aaron (section)

===Death===
Aaron, like Moses, was not permitted to enter Canaan with the Israelites<ref name=jd3/> when Moses brought water out of a rock to quench the people's thirst. Although they had been commanded to speak to the rock, Moses struck it with the staff twice, which was construed as displaying a lack of deference to the {{LORD}}.<ref name=jd3/><ref>{{Bibleverse|Numbers|20:7|KJV}}</ref>

There are two accounts of the death of Aaron in the Torah.<ref name=jd3/> Numbers says that soon after the incident at Meribah, Aaron with his son Eleazar and Moses ascended Mount Hor. There Moses stripped Aaron of his priestly garments and transferred them to Eleazar. Aaron died on the summit of the mountain, and the people mourned him for thirty days.<ref>Numbers 20:22–29; compare 33:38–39)</ref><ref name=jd3/><ref>{{Bibleverse|Numbers|20:22|KJV}}</ref><ref>{{Bibleverse|Numbers|33:38|KJV}}</ref> The other account is found in Deuteronomy 10:6, where Aaron died at Moserah and was buried.<ref name=jd3/><ref>{{Bibleverse|Deuteronomy|10:6|KJV}}</ref> There is a significant amount of travel between these two points, as the itinerary in Numbers 33:31–37 records seven stages between Moseroth (Mosera) and Mount Hor.<ref name=jd3/><ref>{{Bibleverse|Numbers|33:31|KJV}}</ref> Aaron died on the 1st of [[Av (month)|Av]] and was 123 at the time of his death.<ref name=Colliers>{{harvnb|Gutstein|1997|p=3}}</ref><ref name=sorh>according to [[Seder Olam Rabbah]] 9, Rosh Hashana 2, 3a</ref><ref name=jd4/>
