Aaron was three years older than Moses:

Exodus 7:7 - And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh.

I've found no such comparison between the ages of Aaron and Miriam, but she comes last when the siblings are listed, implying that she was the youngest.

Numbers 26:59 - The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt; and to Amram she bore Aaron and Moses and their sister Miriam.

1 Chronicles 6:3 - The children of Amram were Aaron, Moses, and Miriam. And the sons of Aaron were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

How did aaron become a priest?

Why was Aaron not punished for making the golden calf?

Aaron was not punished for making the golden calf because he claimed he did it out of fear and pressure from the Israelites. When Moses confronted him, Aaron took responsibility for his actions, and Moses interceded on his behalf before God. Aaron's repentance and Moses' intervention played a role in his not being punished.


Why was Moses brother Aaron his spokesperson?

Moses felt that he was unqualified to speak before Pharaoh (Exodus 3:11), saying that he wasn't a "fluent speaker", was "slow of speech" and "slow of tongue". (Exodus 4:10) Jehovah God did him a favor and allowed Aaron to be his spokesperson, making Aaron the prophet and Moses acting as Jehovah's representative, a.k.a. becoming "God" to Pharaoh. (Exodus 4:13-16) As a parallel note, Jesus too came as Jehovah's representative while on Earth. (John 8:26 & 28) He gave his life to save mankind from eventual extinction, offering the faithful ones a chance at everlasting life. (John 3:16) Every year millions of people worldwide commemorate this event (a.k.a. the Memorial of Christ's death), and this year it falls on 4/2/26 after sundown. (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
