Commentary
John Gill
And Aaron the priest went up into Mount Hor, at the commandment of the Lord,.... Delivered to Moses:
and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Israel were come out of Egypt; not being suffered to go with them into the land of Canaan, because of his sin of unbelief at Kadesh, the last place from whence they came: in Mount Hor he died:
on the first day of the fifth month; the month Ab, answering to part of July and part of August; so that he lived but four months after his sister Miriam; see Num 20:1.
JFB
Rithmah ("the place of the broom")--a station possibly in some wady extending westward of the Ghor.
