Context of Numbers 27:13

11If he has no uncles, give his property to the nearest relative in his family, and that relative will take possession of it. This will be a rule for the Israelites, as the Lord commanded Moses.” 12The Lord said to Moses, “Go up into the Abarim Mountains, and take a look at the land I will give the Israelites. After you see it, you, too, will join your ancestors ⌞in death⌟, as your brother Aaron did. 14You both rebelled against my command in the Desert of Zin.
