Location

One Jewish tradition states Aaron died, and was buried on Mount Hor. Mount Hor is located near Mount Sinai in the Sinai.cite encyclopedia|url=http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=4&letter=A&search=Mount%20Hor#18|title=Aaron|last=McCurdy|first=Frederic|coauthors=Kaufmann Kohler|language=English|accessdate=2008-07-12] Some also believe Aaron, known as Harun in Arabic, died and was buried on Jabal Harun, or Aaron's Mountain. At this location a Mosque was built in the 14th century.
