His return to Moses signifies the completion of his priestly duty in interceding for the Israelites. This reflects the biblical theme of intercession, where a mediator stands between God and humanity, a role ultimately fulfilled by Jesus Christ as the High Priest (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>).<p><b>at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting</b><br>The Tent of Meeting, also known as the Tabernacle, was the central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among the Israelites during their wilderness journey. It symbolizes God's desire to dwell with His people and foreshadows the incarnation of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>). The entrance signifies a place of access to God, where Moses and Aaron often received divine instructions.<p><b>since the plague had been halted</b><br>The halting of the plague demonstrates God's mercy and the effectiveness of Aaron's intercession. In the broader context of <a href="/numbers/16.htm">Numbers 16</a>, the plague was a divine response to the rebellion led by Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. This event underscores the seriousness of rebellion against God's appointed leaders and the necessity of atonement. The cessation of the plague prefigures the ultimate atonement made by Christ, who halts the plague of sin and death through His sacrifice (<a href="/romans/5-8.htm">Romans 5:8-11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>The brother of Moses and the first high priest of Israel.
