Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old
This phrase marks a significant milestone in the life of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel. The age of "a hundred and twenty-three years" is noteworthy, as it reflects a life that spanned the entire period of Israel's enslavement in Egypt, the Exodus, and the wilderness wanderings. In the Hebrew context, longevity is often seen as a sign of divine favor and blessing. Aaron's long life allowed him to witness God's mighty acts and serve as a spiritual leader for the Israelites. His age also underscores the faithfulness of God in sustaining His servants through the trials and challenges of leading His people.

when he died
The phrase "when he died" marks the end of Aaron's earthly journey and his transition into eternity. In the biblical narrative, death is not merely an end but a passage to a new existence. Aaron's death is significant as it represents the passing of the old guard and the preparation for a new generation to enter the Promised Land. Historically, Aaron's death occurred on Mount Hor, as recorded earlier in Numbers 20:22-29, where he was gathered to his people, a phrase often used to denote the hope of an afterlife and reunion with ancestors. His death serves as a reminder of the mortality of even the most revered leaders and the continuity of God's plan beyond individual lifespans.

on Mount Hor
"Mount Hor" is a geographical location of great importance in the biblical narrative. It is situated on the border of Edom, and it is here that Aaron's life came to an end. The mountain serves as a significant landmark in Israel's journey, symbolizing both a physical and spiritual transition. Archaeologically, while the exact location of Mount Hor is debated, it is traditionally identified with Jebel Harun near Petra in modern-day Jordan. The mountain's mention in the text highlights the historical and geographical context of Israel's wilderness journey and the fulfillment of God's promises despite the challenges faced along the way. Mount Hor stands as a testament to God's faithfulness in guiding His people through the wilderness and into the land He promised to their ancestors.

Verse 39. - An hundred and twenty and three years old. He had been eighty-three years old when he first stood before Pharaoh, forty years before (Exodus 7:7).
