Aharon dies at the top of a הָר (har, mountain). It has an unusual name: הֹר הָהָר (Hor Ha-Har). What was this place?

Hor might just be the name of the mountain. But there’s a midrash (from the Tanhuma, quoted by Rashi) that interprets Hor Ha-Har as “mountain on a mountain.” In the words of the midrash, it was “like a small apple on top of a larger apple.”
