This is the water of Meribah,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The water of Meribah - i. e. Strife. The place is called Meribah in Kadesh Num 27:14, and Meribah-Kadesh Deu 32:51. to distinguish it from the Meribah of Exo 17:2 ff. And he was sanctified in them - An allusion doubtless to the name Kadesh (holy), which though not now bestowed, acquired a new significance from the fact that God here vindicated His own sanctity, punishing Moses and Aaron who had trespassed against it.

Commentary on Numbers 20:242 voices
But although the time of his death was hastened by the divine displeasure as a punishment for his sins, the manner of his death was arranged in tenderness of love, and to do him honor at the close of his earthly service. His ascent of the mount was to afford him a last look of the camp and a distant prospect of the promised land.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
God would not have Moses and Aaron to carry the people into Canaan, for this reason also, to signify the insufficiency of the Mosaical law and Aaronical priesthood to make them perfectly happy, and the necessity of a better, and to keep the Israelites from resting in them, so as to be taken off from their expectation of Christ.
