Good morning all. Another day, another burning question.

Background : Pharaoh gave a command that all male child born of the Hebrew's family must be killed. In Exodus 7:7 which says

And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Aaron was three years older and grew up among the Hebrews. How come the same parent who saw the need to shield Moses didn't feel the need to shield Aaron.

Burning Question: Was Moses truly Aaron's brother?

Burning Question: Was Moses truly Aaron's brother?

Aaron was Born before Pharaoh's commandment was implemented.
Initially the mid-wives avoided killing the boys.

Exodus 1
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. [xref-1]

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

So Aaron was Born b4 they actually started killing
