Wasn't Aaron more guilty than anyone else in this instance for making the golden calf as a god? Please help me understand how Aaron should not have been slain with the others who worshipped at the alter that Aaron built for this golden calf.

Man just does not have the KNOWLEDGE to believe God is doing EVERYTHING, through man.

Dear Rick, I have often wondered the same thing. Aaron was chosen by God to be the High Priest for the Israelites. He failed in making the golden calf. But we are not told why God did not take Aaron's life along with the others. But it may be that He was especially chosen to lead with Moses that his life was spared. Aaron's grave sin was not going to prevail over God's purpose for him in that time in the wilderness.
