And Moses sent them to explore the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go ye up this way southward, and ascend the mountain:

And the LORD said to Moses, Ascend this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

And they rose early in the morning, and ascended to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we are here, and will go up to the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.

And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they ascended mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

And Aaron the priest ascended mount Hor at the commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel departed from the land of Egypt, in the first day of the fifth month.
