Aaron
From Textus Receptus
In the Hebrew Bible, Aaron אַהֲרֹן ′ahărōn,Arabic هارون}} Hārūn, Greek (Septuagint): Ἀαρών; often called Aaron the priest (אֵהֲרֹן הֵכֹּהֵן) and once Aaron the Levite (אַהֲרֹן הַלֵּוִי) (Exodus 4:14) was the older brother of Moses (Exodus 6:16-20, 7:7; and a prophet of God. Unlike Moses, who grew up in the Egyptian royal court, Aaron and his elder sister Miriam remained with their kinsmen in the eastern border-land of Egypt (Goshen). When Moses first confronted the Egyptian king about the Israelites, Aaron served as his brother's spokesman ("prophet") to Pharaoh. (Exodus 7:1-9) Part of the Law (Torah) that Moses received from God at Sinai granted Aaron the priesthood for himself and his male descendants, and he became the first High Priest of the Israelites. Aaron died before the Israelites crossed the Jordan river and he was buried on Mount Hor (Numbers 33:39; Numbers 20:22-29, Numbers 33:38-39. Deuteronomy 10:6 says he died and was buried at Moserah). Aaron is also mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible in Luke 1:5, 31, Acts 7:40, Hebrews 5:4, Hebrews 7:11|7:11]], and Hebrews 9:4
