Aaron

Moses and Aaron
Say “Shall WE produce water”
G-d doesn’t like it

The water comes forth
So the people aren’t punished
No so their leaders

Aaron dies at Hor
Even though it was Moses
Who had hit the rock

But Moses now knows
He cannot enter the land
With those whom he led

Archaeological remains at Succoth, the first place the
Hebrews camped after leaving Egypt

Desert travelogue.
Moses recalls the places
Where the people camped

Nothing but a list
With a few key exceptions
For special places

Elim – much water
In Rephidim, not so much
Later, Hor Mountain

At which point Moses
Takes a moment to recall
That’s where Aaron died
