Fallen Into Knowledge

Second day, second troubling observation:

After the people have Aaron make a golden calf (actually it sounds like the calf was his idea) in Exodus 32, God is angry. People die because they worshipped the calf that Aaron had made. But Aaron did not die, but instead went on to be the first high priest. Why?

I don’t know.

I do know, however, that the Bible tends to be a troubling book; and I must assert that if I wasn’t troubled after having read a chunk of it my ease would be a sure sign that I wasn’t paying attention.
