Aaron
The brother of Moses and the first High Priest of Israel, appointed by God to serve in the tabernacle.
Aaron served as the primary spokesman for Moses before Pharaoh and was consecrated as the first High Priest under the Mosaic Law. His lineage established the priesthood for the nation of Israel, tasked with performing the sacrificial system to atone for the people's sins. Despite his pivotal role, he is also noted for his failure in leading the people to construct the golden calf at Mount Sinai.
