The people encamp in the desert of Paran So he said to Moses This phrase introduces Aaron's plea to Moses, highlighting the immediacy and urgency of his response. In the Hebrew text, the word for "said" is "אָמַר" (amar), which is a common verb used to denote speech. The context here is significant; Aaron, who is Moses' brother and the high priest, is speaking directly to Moses, acknowledging his authority and leadership. This reflects the hierarchical structure established by God, where Moses is the chosen leader of Israel.

The Levitical law had taught them to look upon sin as a burden, which in the nature of things the sinner must carry, but which by the goodness of God might be got rid of, or transferred to some one else (cf. Leviticus 4:4; Leviticus 16:21; John 1:29).Parallel Commentaries ...
