Numbers 20:29

Aaron
GriefDeath and loss

27 So Moses did as the LORD had commanded, and they climbed Mount Hor in the sight of the whole congregation.

28 After Moses had removed Aaron’s garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

When the whole congregation saw that Aaron had died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days.
