We ask the following database query:
Who in the Bible died by the word of God.
The reader is encouraged to perform the query using a standard Biblical Konnkordance or search engine.
This database query yields the list below.
The list justifies the following Rashi inference:
Moses and Aaron died by the word of God.
This refers to death by a prophetic experience so that the soul immediately joins with God
without undergoing the pains of death.
It seems reasonable that Miryam, whom the Bible
identifies as a prophet, also died the same way. However the Bible did not explicitly say
by the mouth of God when discussing her death,
for reasons of Modesty.
The list below presents the results of the database query and shows examples

Moses
| Dt34-05
| And Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there, in the land of Moab, by the mouth of the Lord.
| Death by mouth of God, i.e., by prophetic experience
|
Aaron
| Nu33-38
| Aaron the kohen ascended Mount Hor by the mouth of God and died there, on the first day of the fifth month in the fortieth year of the children of Israel's exodus from Egypt.
| Death by mouth of God, i.e., by prophetic experience

Miriam
| Nu20-01
| The entire congregation of the children of Israel arrived at the desert of Zin in the first month, and the people settled in Kadesh. Miriam died there and was buried there.
| It seems reasonable that Miriam, who was called a Prophetess (Ex15-20) also, like her brothers,
died by prophetic experience. However the Bible doesn't explicitly state by the mouth of God for reasons of modesty.
