Strong's Lexicon Aarón: Aaron Original Word: Ἀαρών Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Indeclinable Transliteration: Aarón Pronunciation: ah-ah-RONE Phonetic Spelling: (ah-ar-ohn') Definition: Aaron, son of Amram and Jochebed, brother of Moses. Meaning: Aaron Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin (אַהֲרֹן, 'Aharon) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H175 (אַהֲרֹן, 'Aharon) Usage: The name Aaron is used in the New Testament to refer to the brother of Moses, who was the first high priest of Israel and a significant figure in the history of the Israelites. Context: Aaron is a prominent biblical figure known primarily as the brother of Moses and the first high priest of the Israelites. His story is foundational to the understanding of the priesthood and the religious practices of ancient Israel. Aaron was born into the tribe of Levi, the son of Amram and Jochebed, and was three years older than Moses (Exodus 7:7). In the New Testament, Aaron is mentioned in the context of the priesthood and the law. He is referenced in the Book of Hebrews, where his priesthood is contrasted with the superior priesthood of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 5:4-5 (BSB) states, "No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him, 'You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.'" Aaron's role as the first high priest is significant in understanding the sacrificial system and the mediation between God and the people of Israel. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Tabernacle and the rituals associated with it, as described in the Book of Exodus. Aaron's descendants, the Aaronic priesthood, continued to serve in the temple, maintaining the religious traditions and laws given to Moses on Mount Sinai. Despite his high calling, Aaron's life was not without fault. He was involved in the incident of the golden calf (Exodus 32), where he yielded to the people's demands to create an idol while Moses was on Mount Sinai. This event highlights the challenges of leadership and the need for divine guidance and forgiveness. Aaron's death is recorded in Numbers 20:28-29, where he is succeeded by his son Eleazar as high priest. His legacy is one of both human frailty and divine appointment, serving as a precursor to the ultimate high priesthood of Jesus Christ.
