Context — The Death of Aaron
20But Edom insisted, “You may not pass through.” And they came out to confront the Israelites with a large army and a strong hand.
21So Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through their territory, and Israel turned away from them.
22After they had set out from Kadesh, the whole congregation of Israel came to Mount Hor.
23And at Mount Hor, near the border of the land of Edom, the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 24“Aaron will be gathered to his people; he will not enter the land that I have given the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.Cross References

Numbers 20:22 Summary
[The Israelites had to move from Kadesh to Mount Hor because the Edomites would not let them pass through their land, as stated in Numbers 20:20-21. This was a challenging time for the Israelites, but it was also an opportunity for them to trust in God's leading and provision, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:2-5. As we face our own challenges and uncertainties, we can learn from the Israelites' example and trust in God's sovereignty, as mentioned in Psalm 23:4 and Romans 8:28.]

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Numbers 20:22
And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor. The children of Israel ... journeyed from Kadesh. At that stage they had three routes to Canaan to decide upon.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Numbers 20:22
Whose inhabitants were then called Horims, , and Esau the Horite, .
Ellicott's Commentary on Numbers 20:22
(22) And the children of Israel . . . —Better, And they journeyed from Kadesh; and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came unto Mount Hor. The insertion of the words “the whole congregation,” as in Numbers 20:1, probably denotes that the people were broken up and dispersed during a considerable portion of their wilderness life, and that it was only on particular occasions that they were gathered together. And came unto Mount Hor.—It cannot be inferred from this statement that Mount Hor, near Petra, the modern Hârûn (see Stanley’s “Sinai and Palestine,” p. 86), was only one day’s journey from Kadesh. It is evident from Numbers 10:33 that the places of encampment may have been distant from each other several days’ journey. The name Hor is thought by some to be another form of the Hebrew har, a mountain. The same name is given in Numbers 34:7 to a mountain which is supposed by some to be a branch of Lebanon. (See Note in loc.)
Cambridge Bible on Numbers 20:22
