 | | His fortitude and silent submission to the will of God on the loss of his two sons are referred to as an excellent example to men how to glorify God in the midst of great affliction (Zebaḥim 115b; Josephus, “Antiquities of the Jews” 3:8, § 7). |
 | | The mourning of the people at Aaron’s death was greater, therefore, than at that of Moses; for whereas, when Aaron died the whole house of Israel wept, including the women (Numbers 20:29), Moses was bewailed by “the sons of Israel” only (Deuteronomy 34:8). |
 | | In fulfillment of the promise of peaceful life, symbolized by the pouring of oil upon his head (Leviticus Rabbah 10, Midrash Tehilim 133:1), Aaron’s death, as described in the Haggadah, was of a wonderful tranquillity. |
