The answer is: Aaron

Num 26:59 - Miriam was their sister. Aaron was 3 years older than Moses (Exo 7:7).

Moses and Aaron: it’s like the ultimate brother duo of the Bible! With Moses leading the charge out of Egypt, Aaron lightens the load by serving as his spokesperson. Their relationship showcases not only family loyalty but also the dynamics between them as they navigate miraculous signs and confront the mightiest ruler of that time, Pharaoh.

Now, picture this: Aaron was there from the start. He was already established when Moses returned from his long exile, working in the backdrop for Israel’s liberation. Adding to the drama, their sister Miriam certainly makes her mark in the story too. She isn’t just a bystander; later, we learn she’s also a bold leader with her own significant song on the other side of the Red Sea (Exo 15)!

And wouldn’t you know it? Aaron’s lesser-known title after Exodus is High Priest, which heather made him not just a sibling but a critical bridge between God and the people. Did you know he’s often depicted in ceremonial garb embellished with reminders of the twelve tribes? Quite the fashion statement!

With all its splendor, their journey wasn’t free from harsh moments—like when Aaron gave in to popular opinion and built the golden calf (Exo 32). This story arc sets a thought-provoking question about leadership and followership that resonates even today. So our sibling trio—a Lebanese-born freedom fighter (Moses), a priestly figure (Aaron), and a daring sister (Miriam)—leads us on a narrative of struggle, unity, and faith against the odds! Isn't that just fascinating?
