What Did Aaron Do In The Bible? Aaron is a Biblical figure from whom we can learn much in terms of pleasing God. He is best known for his role in the Exodus and for being the first of the Levitical, or Aaronic, priesthood. Aaron was born to a family of Levites during Israel’s enslavement in Egypt and was three years older than Moses (Exodus 7:7). Aaron is first introduced in Exodus 4 by God to Moses. God told Moses that He will send Aaron, Moses’ brother, with him to set free the Children of Israel from the hands of Pharaoh. Recall that the Israelites remained in Egypt after Joseph and his generation died, and they became so numerous that the Egyptians were feeling threatened. A new pharaoh feared that the children of Israel would rise up against the Egyptians, so he subjected them to slavery and harsh laws (Exodus 1:8–14).

The Bible tells us that Pharaoh also ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill all the baby boys as soon as they were born. When the midwives refused to obey the order, Pharaoh instructed all the people to throw the Hebrew male infants into the Nile. Behold, these Laws were enacted by the time that Moses was born. Presumably, Aaron was born prior to the Laws, or he escaped death since the midwives feared God rather than obey Pharaoh’s evil laws (Exodus 1:15–22). We don’t find anything written in the Bible about Aaron until God sends him to the eighty-year-old Moses. The Bible tells us that God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, instructing him to go back to Egypt and demand the freedom of all Israelites (Exodus 3—4).

What Did Aaron Do In The Bible?

When Moses was called by God to go and free the Israelites from slavery, he gave God reasons why he was not the best choice for the job thereby requesting that someone else is sent (Exodus 4:13). “Then the LORD’s anger burned against Moses and he said, ‘What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you’” (Exodus 4:14). According to Exodus 4:15–17, God went on to tell Moses that Aaron would be Moses’ spokesperson. In the same light, God spoke to Aaron, telling him to go and encounter Moses in the wilderness. Behold, Aaron obediently took himself into the wilderness to meet with Moses. Moses told Aaron what God had said, including instructions about the signs they would perform in front of Pharaoh.

Aaron is a traditionally masculine name meaning “teacher,” “exalted,” “mountain of strength,” or “lofty.” 

It is written that while in Egypt, Moses and Aaron called for a meeting with the elders of Israel, and Aaron communicated to them what the Lord God Almighty had told Moses (Exodus 4:27–31). The quick response of Aaron in obedience to the instructions of God as well as believing what Moses told him is worth noting. From Aaron’s behavior, we can say that he seemed to be up to the task to which God called him without question, willingly assisting his brother, and speaking to all the Israelites on his behalf. Aaron perhaps also served as an intermediary between his brother, Moses, and the Israelites, since Moses had been separated from his people for a very long time – first in the Egyptian courts and then as a fugitive in Midian.

What Does The Scriptures Say About Moses and Aaron?

There is much that the Scriptures say about Moses and Aaron. As the Exodus story unfolds, we hear of both Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh, making their request for Pharaoh to let the Israelites go under the High Instructions of the Almighty God and performing many signs and wonders. The Almighty God made use of Aaron’s staff in performing many of the signs and plagues. Both Moses and Aaron were obedient to God’s instructions and their obedience led to the freedom of the Israelites from captivity. After the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, Aaron continued to actively lead with Moses during the Israelite’s desert wondering, serving sometimes as his aid and spokesperson.

The Scriptures reveal that when the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron (Exodus 16:2),  “Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, ‘In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?’” (Exodus 16:6–8). We are made to understand in Exodus 16:10 that Moses told Aaron to gather the people so that they could be before the Lord, and the glory of the Lord appeared before them in a cloud. It was equally at this time that God provided quail and manna. In addition, God instructed Moses to keep an omer of manna in a jar that would be kept for generations to come; Moses asked Aaron to collect it according to Exodus 16:32–35.

More on what the Scriptures say about Moses and Aaron

Following Korah’s rebellion against Moses and Aaron, the Almighty God performed a miracle to confirm that Aaron and his descendants were actually chosen to minister before the Lord’s presence. Twelve staffs were collected, one from each tribe. The staff representing the tribe of Levi had Aaron’s name inscribed on it. All the twelve staffs were laid in the tabernacle in front of the ark of covenant overnight, and by the next morning Aaron’s staff “had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds” (Numbers 17:8). The Lord God instructed Moses to place Aaron’s staff inside the ark as well, saying, “This will put an end to their grumbling against me” (verse 10).

Aaron and Hur

The Scriptures also tell us that during the bloody battle with the Amalekites, Joshua, the commander of the Israelite army, had victory only when Moses’ hands were raised.

However, Moses became fatigued, so Aaron and Hur put a stone under him and held up his hands. This is one of the many acts that portray Aaron’s loyal service to Moses. Behold, he supported his brother, whom the Lord God Almighty had chosen from among many to lead the Israelites out of captivity. The Scriptures further tell us that at Mount Sinai, God warned the people to keep their distance as He met with Moses and gave him the Law. Exodus 19:24 tells us that on one of Moses’ ascents, God told him to go along with Aaron. Afterward, when Moses stayed on the mountain with God, he put Aaron and Hur in charge to handle any disputes that might arise (Exodus 24:14).

While Aaron was in charge (Aaron’s Failure)

The Bible tells us that when Aaron was in charge during Moses’ stay on the mountain, things did not go quite well. The Israelites became impatient as they waited for Moses to return and asked Aaron to make them a god. Seemingly without resistance to the people’s urge, Aaron requested their golden jewelry, molded the combination into the shape of a calf, thereby creating an idol. Regrettably, Aaron built an altar in front of the calf and announced a festival for it (Exodus 32:1–6). It is without a doubt that we are all wondering how a man who had so willingly obeyed God’s call to help his brother lead the people out of Egypt, experienced God’s power, seen God’s amazing works firsthand, and just recently experienced God on Mount Sinai could do such a thing. Aaron’s failure is a clear demonstration of our human nature.

Although we don’t know Aaron’s motivation, it is not hard to imagine that he might have doubted God and feared the people. The Lord God did inform Moses of the golden calf and the rebellion that was growing among the people. Following this, God threatened to completely destroy the people and instead make a great nation out of Moses. However, Moses intervened on behalf of the people and returned to them (Exodus 32:7–18). But when Moses upon arrival actually saw with his own eyes what was happening, “his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain” (Exodus 32:19). We are made to understand that the tablets contained God’s covenant. It appears that Moses destroyed the tablets not just in a moment of anger, but also because the people had embraced disobedience and broken the covenant.

Moses’ reaction

Following the breaking of the tablets that contained the Law into pieces, Moses burned the idol, scattered its ashes in the water, and made the Israelites drink it (Exodus 32:20). When Moses requested for an explanation from Aaron on why the people had done this and why he’d let them into it, Aaron was honest about the people’s complaints and requests for him to make a god, although he was not forthcoming about his own role. However, Aaron admitted to his collection of their jewelry but claimed that, when he “threw it into the fire, . . . out came this calf!” (Exodus 32:24). Exodus 32:25 says, “Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock to their enemies.”

Moses called those who were for the Lord God Almighty unto him. The Levites rallied to him, and then he instructed them to kill some of the people. However, Moses still interceded for the people and God reassured him but sent forth a plague on the people for their sin as we can read from Exodus 32:33–35. The golden calf incident happens not to be Aaron’s only blunder. We are made to understand in Numbers 12 that Aaron and Miriam (Aaron and Moses’ sister) oppose Moses: “Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. ‘Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?’ they asked. ‘hasn’t he also spoken through us?’” (Numbers 12:1–2). It is important for us to understand that such pride which is a common danger among leaders is not godly.

God defends Moses

In the midst of the opposition, God called the three siblings out to meet Him. In this meeting, God openly defended Moses to Aaron and Miriam and asked why Aaron and Miriam hadn’t been afraid to speak against him. The Scriptures tell us that when the cloud from which God spoke lifted, Miriam was leprous. Upon noticing this, Aaron pleaded with Moses on her behalf; Moses cried out to God, and, after seven days out of the camp, Miriam was healed (Numbers 12:3–16). It is remarkable that Miriam suffered leprosy whereas Aaron did not. It is interesting to see Aaron’s plea to Moses, acknowledging his sin and asking him not to allow Miriam in the midst of suffering. From several indications, it seems Aaron was truly repentant.

God favors Aaron (Aaronic Blessing)

The Lord God Almighty appointed Aaron and his sons to be priests for the people of Israel with Aaron being the first high priest. It was on Mount Sinai that God gave Moses commandments about the priesthood, including how to consecrate priests and what garments they should put-on. In Exodus 29:9, the Lord God told Moses that the priesthood would belong to Aaron and his descendants by a lasting ordinance. Following God’s instructions, Aaron was made the high priest, and his family line continued to serve as priests until the destruction of the Temple in AD 70. In the New Testament of the Bible, the book of Hebrews spends much time comparing Jesus’ permanent priesthood to the Aaronic priesthood.

Priests of the Levitical line were expected to offer sacrifices for their own sins and then for the sins of the people continually. Jesus Christ was without sin, and His sacrifice on behalf of the people was made once and it is finished (for more info, read Hebrews 4—10). While Aaron’s sons actually followed him into the priesthood, two of his sons – Nadab and Abihu – were killed by God’s anger when they offered “unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command” (Leviticus 10:1).  According to Leviticus 10:3, when Moses informed Aaron that this is what God meant when He said He would be proved holy, Aaron remained silent. Behold, Aaron did not try to defend his sons nor did he accuse God of wrongdoing. Seemingly, Aaron truly understood God’s Holiness and accepted His judgment over the misconduct of his sons.

Death Takes Moses and Aaron near the Promised Land

As was the case with Moses, Aaron was not allowed to enter the Promised Land due to their sin at Meribah (Numbers 20:23). God instructed Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s son Eleazar to go up Mount Hor. There Eleazer would be made high priest and Aaron would die (Numbers 20:26–29). We can say of Aaron’s life that it is a demonstration of God’s Holiness and Mercy. Aaron began his journey in God’s service as an obedient and faithful servant, willingly reaching out to Moses and serving as an intermediary. Aaron also faithfully served as a priest in the sacrificial system that God used as a picture of His ultimate plan for salvation in Jesus Christ.

As is the case with all humans, Aaron was a sinner. Upon seeing God’s mighty works, he still went forth to making a golden calf and making the people worship it. However, Aaron seems to have learned and grown, admitting his sin in speaking against Moses and accepting the deaths of his unfaithful sons as God’s judgment. The life of Aaron invites and teaches us to serve others, share in the responsibility of leadership, and submit to the Lord God Almighty.
