And Aaron was one hundred and twenty three years old when he died in Mount Hor.] He was eighty three when he stood before Pharaoh, (<020707>Exodus 7:7), and forty years he had been with Israel since, which make this number; he was three years older than Moses. Ver. 40-44. And King Arad the Canaanite, etc.] Or the king of Arad the Canaanite: which dwelt in the land of Canaan, he heard of the coming of the children of Israel; towards the land of Canaan, in order to possess it, and he came out and fought with them, and was vanquished; (see <042101>Numbers 21:1-3), this was when Israel was at Mount Hor; from whence they departed to Zalmonah, twenty eight miles from the mount; and from thence to Punon, which was twenty more; and so to Oboth, which was twenty four miles from Punon: and thence to Ijeabarim, in the border of Moab, which was sixteen miles, (see <042109> Numbers 21:9-11).
