The biblical Book of Numbers states that Aaron died and was buried on Mount Hor. Mount Hor is located near Mount Sinai in the Sinai. Others traditions state that Aaron, known as Harun in Arabic, died and was buried on Jabal Hārūn, or Aaron's Mountain, near Petra in Jordan. A mosque was built at the Jordanian location in the 14th century.
