Although he had not always been just what God wanted him to be, as when he participated in the affair of the golden calf (Exodus 32<\/span>) and joined Miriam in seditious talk against Moses, we should see the man in his proper perspective, not remembering these incidents only, but knowing him as the spokesman for Moses before Pharaoh; as the conscientious high priest who faithfully performed his duties before a murmuring, complaining people; as the brother and intimate companion of Moses who must often have served as counselor, confidante and commiserator with the great man of God in whose shadow Aaron was required to live.<\/p>\n Since Aarons death occurred in the fortieth year, it is clear that God intended for the entire time taken up by the travels, from Egypt to Canaan, to be included in the forty years specified as punishment for the rebellion at Kadesh. In actual time, one and one-half years had been taken in the period from the exodus to Kadesh, and additional time was required to march around Edom, through Moab into the Abarim, and to overcome the eastern tribes of Gilead. Three years older than Moses, he had been 83 years of age when he stood before Pharaoh (Exo. 7:7<\/span>).<\/p>\n Arad the Canaanite is mentioned here because he had previously opposed Israel, at their coming to the southern edge of Canaan (Num. 21:1-3<\/span>), imposing a defeat upon them and taking a number of captives. He made no move against Israel in this situation, however. The people left the area soon, and all conflict was avoided.<\/p>\n From the scene of Aarons death, the Israelites began their march around Edom, since the latter people had refused passage through their land (Num. 20:14-21<\/span>), coming to Zalmonah at the southeastern extremity of Edom. They then worked their way in a generally northward direction to the eastern side of Moab, removing later to the area of the Abarim and the northern plains of Moab at Abel-shittim. From this point they took their time to cross the Jordan. There can be no doubt that the Israelites made camp at many unnamed locationscamping perhaps for a few days or for extended periods of time. To reconstruct their travels completely and accurately, even if all the unnamed stations were also supplied, would be impossible. We have quite enough information, however, to show us that Gods words to the people were accurately fulfilled.<\/p>\n QUESTIONS AND RESEARCH ITEMS<\/strong><\/p>\n 607.<\/p>\n Evaluate the life of Aaron as a man, as a spokesman for Moses, as a priest, and as a leader of the people, showing his strengths and weaknesses.<\/p>\n 608.<\/p>\n Cite a half-dozen instances in which Aaron had stood firm for the cause and the word of the Lord.<\/p>\n 609.<\/p>\n Why does the Bible tell us of the wrongdoings of Aaron?<\/p>\n 610.<\/p>\n What do we conclude from the fact that Aaron died in the fortieth year?

See Introduction, (4.)<\/p>\n ‘And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of Yahweh, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month. And Aaron was a hundred and twenty and three years old when he died in mount Hor.’ <\/p>\n It was on Mount Hor that Aaron was to die ‘at the commandment of Yahweh’, the Lord of life and death. This was almost exactly forty years since they had left Egypt, and was on the first day of the fifth month (they had left Egypt on the fifteenth day of the first month). He died at the age of one hundred and twenty three. At first sight this appears to be an exact number, but it may simply be one hundred and twenty (three generations – a man of this age in fact often called himself ‘three’) plus three for completeness. Being older than Moses who would shortly die at ‘one hundred and twenty’ (Deu 34:7<\/span>) the three indicated that he was the elder brother. Moses had had three periods of life, life in Egypt, life among the Midianites, and the period of deliverance, each of which could be seen as ‘a generation’ (idealistically forty years). <\/p>\n The mention of his long life here and not earlier was because earlier his sins were still in mind. Now that that has been dealt with Aaron could be given his final accolade. To the ancients his length of life would be seen as evidence of his righteousness. It was evidence that he had been pleasing to Yahweh. <\/p>\n Num 33:38 And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first [day] of the fifth month.<\/p>\n Ver. 38. And died there in the fortieth year.<\/strong> ] <\/p>\n “ Nec te tua plurima Pentheu<\/p>\n Labentem texit pietas. ”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The righteous die as well as the wicked, yea, the righteous oft before the wicked: <\/em> W <\/em> . God sends his servants to bed when they have done their work, as here he did Aaron; and as within these few days he hath done, to mine unspeakable loss and grief, my dearest brother and most faithful friend, Mr Thomas Jackson, that able and active instrument of God’s glory, while he lived, in the work of the ministry at Gloucester; the sad report of whose death, received whilst I was writing these things, made the pen, almost, fall out of my fingers, not for my own sake so much as for my country, whereof he was, I may truly say, the bulwark and the beauty, as Ambrose is said to have been “the walls of Italy”: a<\/em> A E , said Theodosius; Ambrose, whilst alive, was the only minister, to speak of, that I knew in the whole country. And dilexi virum, qui cum corpore solveretur, magis de ecclesiarum statu, quam de suis periculis angebatur,<\/em> said the same emperor of the same Ambrose; I could not but love the man, for that when he died, his care was more for the churches’ welfare than for his own. I can safely say the same of the man in speech, without offence to any be it spoken; and I greatly fear lest, as the death of Ambrose forebode the ruin of Italy, so that it bodes no good to us, that God pulls such props and pillars out of our building. But this by way of digression, to satisfy my great grief for so dear a friend deceased, as David did for his brother Jonathan, and made him an epitaph. 2Sa 1:17 <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Paulin.

The number of Probation (App-10). <\/p>\n No Compromise with Idolatry<\/p>\n Num 33:38-56<\/p>\n Aarons death must have been deeply felt by his brother Moses. During the great crisis of Hebrew history they had been so closely associated that the wrench must have been very considerable. In addition, there was the recollection of the sin which had excluded the two brothers from Canaan. In the Epistle to the Hebrews the death of Aaron is recorded to set forth the eternal priesthood of Christ, Heb 7:17. Our High Priest has no successor; His office cannot be passed to another. It is not after Aaron, but Melchizedek.<\/p>\n The last paragraph, Num 33:50-56, is especially impressive. There must be no complicity with evil; for if there be, it will eat out the very heart of our character and happiness. It is much better to root out evil with a strong hand than to suffer it in any form, for, like the boomerang of the savage, our sinful permissions will come back on ourselves.<\/p>\n fifth month <\/p>\n i.e. August. <\/p>\n Num 20:24-28, Deu 10:6, Deu 32:50 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 16:35 – forty years Num 14:33 – forty years Num 20:1 – Then Num 20:22 – mount Hor Num 20:25 – General Num 20:28 – Moses Num 27:13 – as Aaron Deu 1:3 – General<\/p>\n Num 33:38.
