Now, Aaron was the elder brother of Moses. Holy Spirit has up front a window of Moses [click]. At the entrance there is one of Aaron, it is not great glass. One is visible in a straight, long line from the other. Aaron was Moses' elder brother. Here he is dressed as a priest, a Levite, a kohen. The breastplate has a stone for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Immediately i was fascinated about two things: the face, and the oversize bare feet.

When i saw Aaron's eyes and moustaches, it reminded me of this portrait of Vlad Dracula. Now about the feet:

And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. — Exodus iii. 5.

The priests in Old Testament times ministered in the Tabernacle, and in the Temple were barefoot.
