Exegesis
The perfect verb gāvaʿ {גָוַ֖ע | gāvaʿ} ‘died’ predicates the fate of ʼAharōn {אַהֲרֹ֑ן | ʾāhărōn}.
The direct object marker ʾet {אֶֽת־ | ʾet} foregrounds Aaron as patient of the following vav-consecutive imperfect vayyibbəkū {וַיִּבְכּ֤וּ | wəyyibbəkū} ‘and they wept’.
In context — Numbers 20:29
And all the congregation saw that Aaron had died, and all the house of Israel wept for Aaron thirty days .
