Numbers 20:23-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

23. where the Lord spoke to Moses:

24. "Let Aaron," he said, "go to his people. For he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because he did not believe my mouth at the Waters of Contradiction.

25. Take Aaron, and his son with him, and lead them on to mount Hor.

26. And when you have stripped the father of his vestments, you shall put them on Eleazar, his son. Aaron shall be gathered and shall die there."

27. Moses did just as the Lord had instructed. And they ascended mount Hor, in the sight of the entire multitude.

28. And when he had despoiled Aaron of his vestments, he clothed his son Eleazar with them.

29. And when Aaron had died at the top of the mountain, Moses came down with Eleazar.

30. And the entire multitude, seeing that Aaron lay dead, wept over him for thirty days, throughout all their families.
