Num 20:24 "Aaron is not going to enter the land which I promised to give to Israel; he is going to die, because the two of you rebelled against my command at Meribah.
Num 20:25 Take Aaron and his son Eleazar up Mount Hor,
Num 20:26 and there remove Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there."
Num 20:27 Moses did what the LORD had commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight of the whole community,
Num 20:28 and Moses removed Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. There on the top of the mountain Aaron died, and Moses and Eleazar came back down.
Num 20:29 The whole community learned that Aaron had died, and they all mourned for him for thirty days.
After many years of wandering, the Israelites arrived at the desert of Zin. The Israelites, again, quarreled with Lord about water. The Israelites, again, reminded Moses of their former life in Egypt and their fear of dying in the desert.
The Lord heard the quarreling and told Moses to strike a rock with his staff and when Moses did, water came out from it. But the Lord told Moses that they wilkl not see the promise land.
Aaron died and his son Eleazar replaced him.

Jacob Wrestling with the ANGEL of GOD
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
Genesis32:23-31

God actually told Moses to speak to the rock and it would pour out water. Moses & Aaron lost their temper with the people and Moses struck the rock twice with his staff instead of following God's direction. This was their disobedience to God and the reason both died before entering the promised land.
