Komentaryo sa Mga Bilang 20:25: Rashi, Rabbeinu Bahya & Tze'enah Ure'enah

קח את אהרן TAKE AARON by consoling words — say to him: Happy art thou that thou wilt see thy crown being given to thy son, something to which I am not privileged (Midrash Tanchuma, Chukat 17).

קח את אהרן, “take Aaron, etc.” The Torah employs the same term it had employed when Aaron was appointed as High Priest where G’d had also said to Moses: “take Aaron” (Leviticus 8,2).

“Take Aaron” [20:25]. God said to Moses. Take Aaron with kind words. It is good for you that you were worthy to give your honor and authority to your son Eleazar. I will not be able to do this. Remove the priestly garments and put them on Eleazar your son.²⁹Rashi, Numbers, 20:25.
