Numbers 20:23
21 So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22 After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
24 “Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.
25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar and bring them up Mount Hor.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
