Biblical Significance of Mount Hor
Mount Hor, on the border of Edom, was where Aaron the high priest died and was buried. Because Aaron had joined Moses in striking the rock at Meribah rather than speaking to it, he was not permitted to enter the Promised Land. On Mount Hor, Moses transferred Aaron's priestly garments to his son Eleazar, symbolizing the continuation of the priesthood. Aaron's death, like Moses', reminds us that even great leaders face consequences for disobedience.
