20 But he answered: “You may not pass through here.”Then the Edomites went out to meet the Israelites with a large and powerful army.
21 The Edomites refused to let them pass through their country. So the Israelites turned back.
22 All the Israelites moved from Kadesh to Mount Hor.
23 It was near the border of Edom. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
24 “Aaron will die. He will not enter the land that I’m giving to the Israelites. This is because you both acted against my command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar up on Mount Hor.
26 Take off Aaron’s special clothes and put them on his son Eleazar. Aaron will die there. He will join his ancestors.”
