Abstract
The multifaceted narrative of Prophet Moses and the Israelites (Banī Isrāʾīl) has been a subject of contemplation from various perspectives. A significant part of this narrative involves the confrontation of Moses and Aaron, where, as interpreted by exegetes, Moses reproached Aaron harshly. This event occurred following Moses' departure for his divine appointment and the Israelites' subsequent worship of the Golden Calf. During Moses’ ten-day delay, the Israelites insisted on adopting a tangible deity until his return. In response, Sāmirī crafted a golden calf that emitted sounds like a cow (Qur’an, 20:87-88). Aaron’s extensive efforts to dissuade the people from this sedition were futile (ibid, 7:150). Informed by God of the deviation of his people before his return, Moses returned in anger and confronted his brother Aaron, questioning him about this deviation. Interpreters suggest that this confrontation involved Moses physically seizing Aaron’s beard and head in anger.
