	He spoke and acted on behalf of Moses with the Egyptian royal court, including performing miraculous "signs" to validate Moses' mission. [[Exodus 4:10]] At the command of [[Moses]], he let his rod turn into a snake ([[Exodus 7\|Exodus 7:9-12]]). Then he stretched out his [[Aaron's rod\|rod]] in order to bring on the first three plagues ([[Exodus 7:19]], [[Exodus 8:1\|8:1]],[[Exodus 8:12\|12]]).After that, Moses tended to act and speak for himself ([[Exodus 9:23]], [[Exodus 10:13\|10:13]],[[Exodus 10:22\|22]]).

			During the journey in the wilderness, Aaron was not always prominent or active. At the battle with Amalek, he was chosen with [[Hur (Bible)\|Hur]] to support the hand of Moses that held the "rod of God" ([[Exodus 17:9]]). When the revelation was given to Moses at Mount Sinai, he headed the elders of Israel who accompanied Moses on the way to the summit. While [[Joshua]] went with Moses to the top, however, Aaron and Hur remained below to look after the people ([[Exodus 24\|Exodus 24:9-14]]). From here on in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, Joshua appears in the role of Moses' assistant while Aaron functions instead as the first high priest.
