6Lets Talk about Aaron
7Who was Aaron? 1. The Parents He was the
eldest son of Amram and Jochebed. 2. What is the
meaning of his name? Mountain of strength or
Enlightened 3. Where was he born? In Egypt 4.
Key word in his life. High Priest
8Aaron the Spokesman for Moses. An Excellent
Speaker!
Aaron had the quality to be an excellent speaker
and for this reason God chose him to be the
prophet and the spokesman of his brother Moses.
The Lord told Moses Aaron will be the speaking
on your behalf, and it was so.
The fame of his oratory was known in heaven and
recognized by God. A great orator has been
defined, as a good man well skilled in speaking
and such capacities was Aarons.
Exodus 310 10Â Come now, therefore, and I will
send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people,
the children of Israel, out of Egypt." Exodus
410-12 10Â Then Moses said to the Lord, "O my
Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since
You have spoken to Your servant but I am slow of
speech and slow of tongue." 11Â So the Lord said
to him, "Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes
the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind?
Have not I, the Lord? 12Â Now therefore, go, and I
will be with your mouth and teach you what you
shall say."
9By saying, slow in speech Did Moses refer to
some defect of speech he suffered from? Not
eloquent means, not a man of words and slow in
speech, and of slow tongue is the idea to be
heavy in speech and also heavy in tongue.
Exodus 71, 2, 9, 10, 19 1Â So the Lord said to
Moses "See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh,
and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2Â You shall speak all that I command you. And
Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh to send
the children of Israel out of his land. 9Â "When
Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, 'Show a miracle
for yourselves,' then you shall say to Aaron,
'Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and
let it become a serpent.' " 10Â So Moses and Aaron
went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the
Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod
before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it
became a serpent.
10The First High Priest of the Jews.
To be the high Priest of God was indeed a great
thing in the old times, but to be the first High
Priest selected by God was even better.
Some very accurate had said From the Tribe of
Israel came the Warriors. From the Tribe of Levi
came the Worker. From the Family of Aaron came
the Worshippers.
11The First High Priest of the Jews.
Leviticus 81-5 1Â And the Lord spoke to Moses,
saying 2Â "Take Aaron and his sons with him, and
the garments, the anointing oil, a bull as the
sin offering, two rams, and a basket of
unleavened bread 3Â and gather all the
congregation together at the door of the
tabernacle of meeting." 4Â So Moses did as the
Lord commanded him. And the congregation was
gathered together at the door of the tabernacle
of meeting. 5Â And Moses said to the congregation,
"This is what the Lord commanded to be done."
12The appointment of Aaron and his sons as priest
came by the order of God unto Moses.
Leviticus 85,6 5Â And Moses said to the
congregation, "This is what the Lord commanded to
be done." Then Moses brought Aaron and his sons
and washed them with water.
13Aaron was the first who was solemnly set apart to
this office
Exodus. 297 7Â And you shall take the
anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint
him. Leviticus. 812 12Â And he poured some of
the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed
him, to consecrate him.
14He wore a peculiar dress, which on his death he
passed to his successor in office
Ex. 2929,30Â So Aaron shall bear the names of
the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment
over his heart, when he goes into the holy place,
as a memorial before the Lord continually. 30Â And
you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the
Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over
Aaron's heart when he goes in before the Lord. So
Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of
Israel over his heart before the Lord
continually.
15Aaron the High Priest who Murmured Against His
Brother.
In spite of his high and holy calling, Aaron
suffered from the murmurings of the people.
Sometimes is very hard to stay away from the mob,
sometimes the mob draw us away from our holy ways
and this is the case this time for Aaron. He was
a holy man, he was separated but and in this
occasion he heeds to the complaints of the
majority. Listen to what happens please.
Exodus 162 2Â Then the whole congregation of
the children of Israel complained against Moses
and Aaron in the wilderness. Numbers 142 1Â So
all the congregation lifted up their voices and
cried, and the people wept that night. 2Â And all
the children of Israel complained against Moses
and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to
them, "If only we had died in the land of Egypt!
Or if only we had died in this wilderness!
16Aaron the High Priest who Murmured Against His
Brother.
Numbers 121,2 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke
against Moses because of the Ethiopian women whom
he had married for he had married an Ethiopian
woman. So they said, Has the Lord indeed spoken
only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us
also? And the Lord heard it.
17Aaron the man who lied to God and to His Brother.
While Moses was talking with God, the unexpected
was happening under the mount of Sinai. The
people went crazy, the people went desperate and
they asked Aaron to make an Idol for them. Sadly
again after being persuaded by all the people to
murmur against God and Moses, now the people are
persuading Aaron to sin again, this time make us
a golden calf
Aaron suffers because he was reproved by Moses
for his action.
18Aaron really did know how to pay good for evil.
Exodus 321-6 1Â Now when the people saw that
Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the
people gathered together to Aaron, and said to
him, "Come, make us gods that shall go before us
for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up
out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has
become of him." 2Â And Aaron said to them, "Break
off the golden earrings which are in the ears of
your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and
bring them to me." 3Â So all the people broke off
the golden earrings which were in their ears, and
brought them to Aaron. 4Â And he received the gold
from their hand, and he fashioned it with an
engraving tool, and made a molded calf. Then they
said, "This is your god, O Israel, that brought
you out of the land of Egypt!" 5Â So when Aaron
saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron
made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow is a
feast to the Lord." 6Â Then they rose early on the
next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought
peace offerings and the people sat down to eat
and drink, and rose up to play.
19Exodus 3219-20 19Â So it was, as soon as he
came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the
dancing. So Moses' anger became hot, and he cast
the tablets out of his hands and broke them at
the foot of the mountain. 20Â Then he took the
calf which they had made, burned it in the fire,
and ground it to powder and he scattered it on
the water and made the children of Israel drink
it. Exodus 3221-24 21Â And Moses said to Aaron,
"What did this people do to you that you have
brought so great a sin upon them?" 22Â So Aaron
said, "Do not let the anger of my lord become
hot. You know the people, that they are set on
evil. 23Â For they said to me, 'Make us gods that
shall go before us as for this Moses, the man
who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do
not know what has become of him.' 24Â And I said
to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them break it
off.' So they gave it to me, and I cast it into
the fire, and this calf came out.They gave me
all the gold, I cast it into the fire and this
calf came out. Can you believe that? You put all
the gold on fire and this ring came out, No
Aaron, you built it, you polished it, you made it
nice and with the form of a god, an idol
20We keep saying that only Moses missed the
privilege to enter Canaan, but the truth is that
Aaron also missed the land because the people.
The two brothers missed the opportunity of
entering Canaan.
Aaron for making the Golden Calf, and Moses for
not blessing the Lord at the moment of striking
the rock.
Numbers 2012 12Â Then the Lord spoke to Moses
and Aaron, "Because you did not believe Me, to
hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel,
therefore you shall not bring this assembly into
the land which I have given them."
21A profitable meditation on the PRIEST CALLING
Dont forget that Aaron was a type of Christ, the
Great High Priest. Aaron--------------------------
----------------------Jesus Both were chosen of
God. Christ is the Only Mediator between God and
man. Both had to be clean. They bore the vessels
of the Lord. Aaron was a sinner and needed
cleansing. Christ was sinless. Both are clothed.
Aaron with his coat, robe and ephod Christ robed
in garments of Glory and Beauty. Both are
crowned. Aaron with his mitre, or holy crown,
Christ with His Diadems. Both are consecrated or
set apart. Aaron with blood sprinkled and had his
hands filled for the Lord. Leviticus 824-27.
Christ is forever John 1716-17. Both are
blameless. No man with a blemish could come close
to offer a sacrifice unto the Lord. Christ was
Holy, harmless, undefiled.
22Even though he made mistakes in His life Aaron
was Chosen of God. Psalm 10525 26Â He sent
Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had
chosen. He was a Saint. Psalm 10616 16Â When
they envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron the
saint of the Lord,
23Can We all learn this evening from
Aaron? Yes! Hes a Saint and also he is a chosen
one Are we?
