10 — Person: Aaron

Number: 10

Person: Aaron

Action: Holding the tablets with Moses at Sinai (or at the foot of the mountain with the people)

Object: Tablets (Ten Commandments)

Scripture connection: Exodus 19–20 — Moses and Aaron go up Sinai; Exodus 32 — Aaron with the people when they make the golden calf; the Ten Words given on the mountain.

Memory hook: Ten = the Ten Commandments; Yod = hand. Aaron the high priest is at the center of the covenant — hand that bears the law, hand that offers sacrifice. Ten words from the mouth of God.

Why this number? 10 = the Ten Commandments; Aaron stood with Moses at Sinai (Exodus 19; 32). The ten words are the foundation of the covenant; Aaron represents the priesthood that serves that covenant.
