Deu 9:20 | MHM | STEP | v. 20 : Even Aaron, the high priest, was punished by God for joining in the people’s sin. God was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him because of his role in making the golden calf . However, Moses interceded for Aaron, praying on his behalf, and God’s wrath was turned away. This shows that no one’s position or status can protect them from God’s anger if they choose to sin. Aaron’s survival and continued role as high priest were due to God’s mercy and Moses’ intercession, emphasizing the seriousness of sin and the power of prayer (Exodus 32:31; Deuteronomy 9:20 ).
