Aaron had some of the highest honours ever known to man, yet his life had some of the deepest disappointments and regrets also. Despite his high standing in world and Biblical history, his final resting place and funeral would be a humble and private affair in the beautiful surroundings of Mount Hor.

Lineage Journey

For 40 years since the rebellion at Kadesh Barnet, when they rejected the opportunity to go into Israel and doubted God's power, the children of Israel have been wandering in the wilderness. Now with the 40 years almost up, they once again made an approach, but they had to make a detour. The mites who were relatives of theirs being descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother refused to let them pass through their land, so they had to go around Eden. God instructed that they shouldn't bother the Eden mites for refusing their request, but leave them alone because their ancestors were brothers As they walked through the wilderness. Mount Hall towered above them, its summit was to be the place of Aaron's death and burial. And Moses was instructed to take Aaron and Elza up to the top and to take the Priesty garments off Aaron and give them to Elza. These two aged men as they walked up the mountain, were both now at least 120 years old. They had experienced the deepest trials and had the greatest honors that had ever fallen to the lot of men. They both had great natural ability, but it had been developed and exalted by communion with God. Mount Hall is located in Petra today in Jordan reaching the top of Mount Hall right here. They were looked out into the plains behind me and seen the camp of Israel spread. As far as the eyes can see, this people, the ones for whom they had sacrificed so much and dedicated most of their life. At the age of 83, Aaron had agreed to help his brother Moses in his mission, and now his work for Israel was done. He had held up Moses arms when they had fought the Amalekites. He had been the high priest, yet stayed faithful without murmur when his own sons were killed for disregarding God's express command. But his life was marred with one moment. Aaron is remembered for the grievous sin as Sinai when he yielded to the demands of the people and also when he united with Miriam in envy and murmuring against his brother Moses, and along with Moses for the sin at Kadesh, when they both angrily struck the rock instead of speaking to it, it was due to the exalted nature that both held that made their sin of such a great magnitude. It was with deep sorrow that Moses took the Priesty garments from Aaron and put them on his son Ellie Aza. Aaron was not to offer the first sacrifice in the promised land. That privilege would fall to his son. Instead, The biblical record says there Aaron died and there he was buried due to Army ten six. This monument behind me built in relatively recent time, is built to commemorate what is believed to be the spot of his death. One of the most illustrious men who has ever lived had only his son and his brother at his funeral. In stark contrast to some of the lavish and ostentatious funerals we see today for people of high position, as Moses and Elza came down the mountain on their own, the people sorrow for Aaron, yet none would feel the loss so much as Moses for he now knew that his own end was near. Aaron has a special place in Israelite history for he was the first high priest. He was a faithful leader of Israel standing side by side with his brother and communing with God daily. God has a special place for Aaron, but his life illustrates that there are consequences for our actions. Aaron was forgiven by the mercy and grace of God for his sin at Cadesh, but forgiveness does not always remove consequences. May we humbly accept God's plan for our lives and be patient when we continue to bear consequences for sins that we have been forgiven of.
