Aaron

Aaron, in the Hebrew Bible, was Moses’ brother. He was the first High Priest of the Israelites. He gained a name for himself as one who spoke eloquently and persuasively; Aaron was often his brother’s spokesman, since Moses was said to have a speech impediment. In the Qur’an, Aaron is a prophet who is sent to spread the message of God. In the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Maronite Church, Aaron is seen as a saint.
