Exodus, chapter 4, introduces Aaron for the first time. Moses has been introduced already. Moses' sister has been introduced, too. Moses' tribe, his parents, his wife and father-in-law have appeared already in the biblical narrative, but not Aaron. It's odd to me, for Aaron has an important part to play as Moses' "mouthpiece."
Moses had barely escaped death as a baby. Read about his rescue in Exodus, chapter 2. Aaron must have escaped, too, but the Bible does not record that story. Aaron is on his way to see his brother, Moses, at Horeb when Aaron first appears in the story. He has high regard for his brother, and he has reverence for God.
I've always noticed Moses when reading the Bible's book of Exodus. I'm paying attention to Aaron, as I read through the Bible this time.
