Exegesis

The sequence veAharon ye'asef umet {וְאַהֲרֹן יֵאָסֵף וּמֵת} merges the Niphal imperfect ye'asef {יֵאָסֵף | yē’āsēp̄} ‘will be gathered’—a death euphemism—and the Qal perfect umet {וּמֵת | umēt} ‘will die’, completing the narrative progression.

In contextNumbers 20:26

And you shall strip Aaron of his garments and clothe them upon Eleazar his son. Then Aaron will be gathered and will die there .
