Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2 (Ἀαρών, Aaron): The Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name, used in the New Testament to refer to Aaron, particularly in discussions of the priesthood (e.g., Hebrews 5:4).

Usage: Aaron is a prominent figure in the Hebrew Bible, known primarily as the brother of Moses and the first high priest of Israel. His name is associated with leadership, priesthood, and the establishment of religious practices among the Israelites. Aaron is often depicted as a spokesperson for Moses and a mediator between God and the people.

Cultural and Historical Background: Aaron lived during the period of the Exodus, around the 13th century BCE. As a Levite, he played a crucial role in the religious life of the Israelites. Aaron's appointment as the first high priest marked the beginning of the Levitical priesthood, which was responsible for performing sacrifices and maintaining the Tabernacle. His descendants, the Aaronic priesthood, continued to serve in this capacity throughout Israel's history. Aaron's life reflects the challenges of leadership, including moments of faithfulness and failure, such as his involvement in the incident of the Golden Calf (Exodus 32).
