Aaron was Moses' older brother. Aaron was the
middle of three children. The oldest child was
Miriam,
their sister.
He was born in Egypt during the time we were slaves to Pharaoh. |
 |
| We don't know much about Aaron's life before Moshe returned to
Egypt, but
we do know that when HaShem sent Moshe back to Egypt, HaShem also sent Aaron out to meet
him. |
|
Aaron
talked for Moses when Moses was sent before Pharaoh. |
|
He also showed Pharaoh the signs with
the staff. |
| After
we left Egypt and sent to Mt. Sinai and got |
| the Torah,
Moses appointed Aaron as the first
Cohen. Aaron was the Kohen HaGadol (The High Priest), and his children were all
Kohanim. |
|
Every
Kohen is a descendant of Aaron, even though Moses' family |
| are not and Miriam's family are
not. |
| Aaron died in the desert, during the forty years when we were being |
|
punished. |
| Aaron's staff was stored in the Ark of the Covenant along with |
| the Tablets
of the Law. |
| Aaron died
at the age of 123 and was buried on Mount
Hor. His son Eleazar became High Priest when he died. |
