The story of Ahron
Aaron speaks for his brother, makes the golden calf, and becomes the first high priest — and the Hebrew Bible names his sons as the priestly line. That his name is likely Egyptian is among the better indications of an authentic Egyptian layer in the narrative. The Ahron spelling is common in Orthodox communities and is in current American use.
Meaningnot established
Not established
Genuinely unrecovered. Aharon has no convincing Hebrew etymology, and the mainstream scholarly view is that it is Egyptian, as Moses and Phinehas appear to be. Readings such as 'mountain of strength' are folk etymologies without support. Honest sources say the meaning is unknown.

Line the two peaks up, and Arick's path sketches the road Ahron is walking now.
