Bamidbar Perek Chuf

Here is one of Abravanel's questions and answers on Bamidbar Perek Chuf:

#3

Q: Why is Aharon punished by not being allowed to enter Israel is he did not join Moshe in either hitting the rock or speaking angrily with Bnei Yisrael? Why is Aharon seemingly punished for what Moshe did?

A: Aharon is mentioned here as being punished because both were punished for their sins with death in the Midbar, but Aharon had no part in this sin. 

Analysis: I don't fully understand Abravanel's answer. If Aharon was not punished for this sin, then why does he die in the Midbar?
