The Children of Adam and Eve

In the Hebrew Bible, Aaron was the Brother of Moses, (Exodus 6:16-20) and represented the Priestly functions of his tribe, becoming the first High Priest of the Israelites. While Moses was receiving his education at the Egyptian royal court andduring his exile among the Midianites, Aaron and his sister remained with their kinsmen in the eastern border-land of Egypt (Goshen). Aaron there gained a name for eloquent and persuasive speech; so that when the time came for the demand uponthe Pharaoh to release Israel from captivity, Aaron became his Brother’s nabi, or spokesman, to his own people (Exodus 7:1) and, after their unwillingness to hear, to the Pharaoh himself (Exodus 7:9). In Islam, Aaron is a prophet sent to spReadthe mesSage of God and he is frequently mentioned in the Qur'an.
