Moses, Aaron, Moses, and the Priestly Ordination Ceremony
Moses is clearly exalted, like, he clearly has an exalted roll over aaron. Aaron's interesting because he's not autonomous. He has no authority outside his office. Moses puts the stuff in aaron's hands. So it really we see moses as a strong actor. And i wonder if part of what we're seeing in the golden calf story is that god is going to take a very ordinary, flawed human being and transform him so that he can be put in god's service. The whole nation is flawed as te kingdom of priests, and god takes them as they are and transforms them to be his representatives.
