Deuteronomy 32:50

AaronMount Hor
Death and loss

48 On that same day the LORD said to Moses,

49 “Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.

And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.

51 For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.

52 Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”
