Aaron, Moses, and the High Priesthood

Aaron, who perused peace and desired peace, who brought peace between husband and wife and between man and his fellow man, and in this manner brought them close to God - he was the most appropriate choice for being the progenitor of the priesthood.

"The Plowman Shall Overtake the Harvester…"
