Exodus chapter 2 begins: As the ancient story unfolds, we learn that the son she bore was Moses – thus making Moses a firstborn; that, at least, is the obvious reading of the above passage. If Moses had biological siblings, they would have been younger and born after the events described in this story.
The above account of Moses as firstborn comes from the early, non-P account.To be sure, Aaron and Miriam exist in this account as well, but not—in my view—as Moses’ siblings. Aaron is designated Moses’ brother (אח) when Moses is instructed to go meet “Aaron your brother the Levite” (Exod 4:14). However, ‘brother’ in that context probably means ‘fel...
In the Priestly strand of the Pentateuch (P), Moses’ family configures quite differently. First of all, the parents in P are no longer two anonymous individuals identified merely as belonging to the tribe of Levi, but instead they are named as Amram and Jochebed, who are nephew and aunt (Exod 6:20). Secondly, P’s Moses has two biological siblings -...
Why would the Priestly tradition make Miriam and Aaron Moses’ siblings? I suggest that the development of the traditions about Moses’ family illustrates a dichotomy observable throughout biblical histories. For pre-exilic Israelites as well as Judeans – with the possible exception of the royal dynasties - strict heredity or biological connection se...

The Hebrew Bible relates that, unlike Moses, who grew up in the Egyptian royal court, Aaron and his elder sister Miriam remained with their kinsmen in the northeastern region of the Nile Delta. When Moses first confronted the Egyptian king about the enslavement of the Israelites, Aaron served as his brother's spokesman to the Pharaoh .
- Aaron Was the Brother of Moses. As documented in the Torah, Aaron (Aharon in Hebrew) was the son of Amram and Yocheved, and the elder brother of Miriam and Moses—the prophet chosen by G‑d to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and communicate the Torah to them in the desert.
- He and Miriam Were Older Than Moses. We read that “Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh,”1 which tells us that Aaron was older than Moses by three years.
- He Was Moses’ Spokesperson. As G‑d convinced a reluctant Moses to act as His agent to confront Pharaoh and take the people out of Egypt, He told him that he would not be alone in his efforts.
- He Assisted Moses With Bringing the Plagues. Aaron did more than just talk. He actually performed many miracles on G‑d’s behalf, including turning his staff into a snake and then having his staff eat the staffs of Pharaoh’s magicians.
Conclusion: Moses, Aaron and Miriam were a very spiritual team. Exodus 15:20 says that Miriam was a prophetess. Aaron was the high priest of Israel. Sometimes he was simply called the priest (Exodus 28:1; 38:21; Numbers 3:6; Psalm 99:6). Moses was a priest (Psalm 99:6) and a prophet (Deuteronomy 34:10).
