Contextual Overview

²² And the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, pulled up stakes from Kadesh and came in to Mount Hor. ²³ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom, saying, ²⁴ Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not go into the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because you rebelled against My mouth at the Waters of Strife. ²⁵ Take Aaron and his son Eleazar, and cause them to go up to Mount Hor; ²⁶ and strip Aaron of his garments, and you shall put them on his son Eleazar. And Aaron shall be gathered and shall die there. ²⁷ And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded; and they went up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the congregation. ²⁸ And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and clothed his son Eleazar with them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And strip Aaron of his garments,.... His priestly garments, as the Targum of Jonathan, and so Jarchi:

and put them upon Eleazar his son; thereby declaring him to be high priest in his father's stead:

and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there; the phrase of gathering to his people is here explained of his dying.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The priestly garments, wherewith Moses had invested Aaron Leviticus 8:7-9, were put upon Eleazar by way of solemn transference of Aaron’s office to him; compare 1 Kings 19:19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 20:26. Strip Aaron of his garments — This was, in effect, depriving him of his office; and putting the clothes on his son Eleazar implied a transfer of that office to him. A transfer of office, from this circumstance of putting the clothes of the late possessor on the person intended to succeed him, was called investing or investment, (clothing); as removing a person from an office was termed divesting or unclothing. Among the Catholics, and in the Church of England, this same method is used in degrading ecclesiastics. Hence such a degradation is termed by the common people stripping a man of his gown.
