20 INTRODUCTION: But for the hesitancy of Moses to step out boldly in response to God'

s call, Aaron might never have occupied the prominent position he held in Israel.

After repeated complaints by Moses of his inadequacy as a public speaker and several attempts by the Lord to assure him of His help, the Lord relented (gave in) to Moses and in His displeasure assigned Aaron to be Moses'

spokesman or prophet (Ex. 7:1). Here, incidentally, is a perfect example of how the word prophet, when used in the Bible, simply means one who speaks for another. It does not mean one who foretells the future although those who spoke for God and were thus His prophets were sometime used to speak of future events. Exodus 7:1 出埃及记And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. 耶和华对摩西说:我使你在法老面前代替神,你的哥哥亚伦是替你说话的.LESSON NOTES: Second Best: The Lord never forces His will upon any of His people. After making His will known to Moses and patiently listening to Moses'

many reasons for not complying, the Lord relented and did things in accordance with Moses'

wishes. This does not mean that the Lord spitefully withheld any help or blessing from Moses, or for that matter, from Aaron and all the Israelites. On the contrary, God is not at all like we are prone to be. The record shows that God did many wondrous works through both Aaron and Moses. However, our will always results in second best and, as the Israelites found out on other occasions, brings leanness to the soul (Psa. 106:15). Psalm 106:15 And he gave them their request;

but sent leanness into their soul. 他将他们所求的赐给他们,却使他们的心灵软弱.Little is known of Aaron prior to his alliance with Moses to lead God'

s people from Egypt. He was three years older than Moses and, though his brother, quite different from him. Apparently, Aaron spent all of his

83 years to this time in Egypt. He was well known to the elders of the children of Israel and undoubtedly was himself one of their leaders. It was he who introduced Moses to them after his forty-year absence (Ex. 4:29). Exodus 4:29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 摩西、亚伦就去招聚以色列的众长老.Aaron was not only a witness to, but a participant in, the wonderful works of God in freeing Israel. Jointly, he and Moses confronted Pharaoh and performed the signs which God had given them (Ex. 7:3). Along with Moses and some seventy others, he witnessed the magnificent presence of God at Mt. Sinai (Ex. 24:9);

and while Moses ascended further up the mount of God to receive His commands, Aaron was left in charge of the Israelites. MEMORY VERSE: Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. (Psalm 65:4). 你所　⑹顾捉恪⒆≡谀阍褐械,这人便为有福!我们必因你居所、你圣殿的美福知足了.2Exodus 7:3 出埃及记And I will harden Pharaoh'

s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. 我要使法老的心刚硬,也要在埃及地多行神奇事.Exodus 24:9 出埃及记Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 摩西、亚伦、拿答、亚比户,并以色列长老中的七十人,都上了山.Failure: Aside from his position as the first high priest, an appointment which reflects the great grace of God, Aaron is best known for his involvement with an early and great sin of Israel whereby the covenant which they had solemnly made with God a short time before was broken. It is to be noted first that this incident is an example of the fickleness of God'
