Brother of Moses and high priest of the Old Law; chosen by Moses to be his spokesman before Pharoah ("scriptRef" ref="ex+4,7">Exodus 4,7, 8). He caused the casting of the golden calf which the Israelites worshiped in the wilderness ("scriptRef" ref="ex+32">Exodus 32), but at the prayer of Moses he was spared the fate of the three thousand worshipers ("scriptRef" ref="de+9">Deuteronomy 9). The rod of Aaron blossomed as a sign that he had been chosen by God to be first high priest ("scriptRef" ref="le+8">Leviticus 8). He was not allowed to enter the Land of Promise, but died on Mount Hor ("scriptRef" ref="nu+20">Numbers 20). His son Eleazar and descendants, Aaronites, were consecrated as an hereditary priesthood.
