“And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.”
Aaron said to Moses, 'Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed' — Aaron's immediate confession ('the sin we have so foolishly committed') shows that even amid punishment, the grace of repentance works in his heart. The term 'foolishly' (naal) conveys not mere mistake but moral foolishness, the sinner's blindness to God's ways.
