Aaron: A Fatal Compromise
Aaron—Moses’ older brother, right-hand man, and spokesman during the time of the Exodus—received a very high diving calling: to serve as priest for the liberated nation (Lev. 8:1–36). Because this enormous task also carried great responsibility, such a man had to live in a manner beyond reproach.
Aaron, unfortunately, had a weakness for unwise compromise. At a crucial time when Moses and his people needed him to stand strong, he gave in to the clamoring of the Israelites and forged a golden calf for them to worship. Through his failure he missed out on God’s very best for himself and doomed a number of Israelites to a fatal encounter with a holy God. Aaron’s compromise led to the deaths of three thousand of his fellow Hebrews (Ex. 32:28).
Aaron reminds us that God requires full obedience to His Word, no matter how tempting it may feel to compromise.
