the LORD said to Moses and Aaron
on Numbers 20:23-26
Aaron dies outside the land because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah. He watches his garments put on his son Eleazar, which Adam Clarke reads as the ordinary transfer of an office.
This site's exposition
bring them up Mount Hor
Deuteronomy 32:49-50 sends Moses up Mount Nebo to die as Aaron died on Mount Hor, and the text ties the two deaths together by name. Aaron climbs with his son and his brother beside him. Deuteronomy 34:1 names no companion for Moses.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Take Aaron and Eleazar his son,.... His eldest son, who was to succeed him in the priesthood, and did: and bring them up unto Mount Hor; to the top of it, they being now at the foot of it, where the people of Israel lay encamped.

proposed
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.
