For today’s post we will tackle the question the Skeptic Annotated Bible asked: Where did Aaron die?
Here are the answers which the skeptic believes indicate a Bible contradiction:
Aaron died on mount Hor.
“So Moses did just as the Lord had commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 28 And after Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.” (Numbers 20:27-28)
“Then Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the command of the Lord, and died there in the fortieth year after the sons of Israel had come from the land of Egypt, on the first day in the fifth month.” (Numbers 33:38)
Aaron died at Mosera.
“(Now the sons of Israel set out from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and there he was buried, and his son Eleazar served as priest in his place.” (Deuteronomy 10:6)
