“And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.”
The Israelites traveled from Kadesh, and the whole congregation came to Mount Hor — having been refused passage through Edom, Israel moves toward Mount Hor, at Edom's northern border. Mount Hor becomes the site of Aaron's death and the transition of the priesthood. The movement toward Mount Hor signals a new phase: the old priesthood (Aaron) will pass; the journey nears its end.
