Aharon HaKohen
1396 BCE–1273 BCE · Biblical · Mount Sinai (Wilderness)
Aharon ben Amram was the first Kohen Gadol (High Priest) of Israel and brother of Moses. He served as Moses's spokesman and partner in leading the Israelites from Egypt through the wilderness. Aharon was consecrated to the priesthood at Mount Sinai and established the service of the Tabernacle, creating the foundation for all subsequent Jewish priestly practice. In Talmudic tradition, he is remembered as a peacemaker who pursued peace and loved all people. He lived in the wilderness period and died on Mount Hor before the Israelites entered the Land of Canaan.
