Among the many individuals mentioned in the Bible, a man named Hur appears to have a special place as a companion of Moses and Aaron.

Hur is mentioned as a leader when Moses ascends Mt. Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments.

The Bible also reveals that Hur is from the tribe of Judah and he comes to the assistance of Moses in the battle against Amalek.

There are other men named Hur in the Bible, but this man is often linked to Aaron and appears to be a primary collaborator with Moses.
