Numbers chapter 20 begins with the death of Miriam in Kadesh in the first month. We have to go to Numbers chapter 33 verse 38-39 to find that Aaron died in the 40th year, and then just before Aaron's death, the people were in Kadesh, so it seems safe to say that their deaths were pretty close together. All it says about her death is she was buried. As the Israelites traveled, they again complained because of their food and lack of water. The Lord commanded Moses and Aaron to take the staff, call the people to assemble, and speak to the rock and it will provide water. They got the staff, then they called the people "rebels." Moses said, "Must WE bring water out of the rock?" Their punishment was they would not be allowed to enter into the promised land because "they did not honor the Lord as holy." Chapter 20 ends with the death of Aaron. Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's son, Eleazar, went up Mount Hor, which is where Moses took off Aaron's priestly clothes, and placed them upon Eleazar. Aaron died on the mount, "And he was gathered to his people!"
