Aaron

Archaeological remains at Succoth, the first place the
Hebrews camped after leaving Egypt

Desert travelogue.
Moses recalls the places
Where the people camped

Nothing but a list
With a few key exceptions
For special places

Elim – much water
In Rephidim, not so much
Later, Hor Mountain

At which point Moses
Takes a moment to recall
That’s where Aaron died

G-d instructs Aaron
Consume no intoxicants
In Tent of Meeting

So you can still tell
Ritually clean items
From those that are not

Does this law tell us
That Nadav and Abihu
Were not of clear mind?

Tzav

A job for Aaron:
Keep the altar fire burning
An eternal flame

Va-eira

Moses: I’m nervous
G-d: Don’t worry about it
Aaron will be there


You’ll be like a god
To the Pharaoh of Egypt
Aaron, your prophet
