Moses and Aaron lived the not uncommon life span of a vegetarian in their days. Aaron died at 127 years at a location named Har Hor, which itself is possibly derived from the name of Shiva as Hara.  Moses preached the relationship between virtue and longevity, as do Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Essenes. Numerous Hindu hymns, such as some of the hymns to Agni, assert the typical life span of the vegetarian Hindu as 100 autumns, Buddha says to his vegetarian congregation that they are here only for a hundred years, and Philo and Josephus and Pliny report on the longevity of the vegetarian Essenes, whom Philo says often lived to 120 years, much like the vegetarian Pythagoreans.  In modern times such longevity is found in basically vegetarian vultures such as those of the Hunzas in the Himalayas, some Siberians, and, earlier in the twentieth century, among the vegetarians living in Villacambamba in Ecuador.  However, I have been informed that U.S. fast food industries moved in the area and that the vegetarian culture has at the very least been dissipated if not destroyed in Ecuador.

   Moses preached the relationship between virtue and longevity: the greater one’s virtue, the greater one’s longevity.

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice, and cleaving to him; for that means life to you and length of days..." Moses, “Deuteronomy” 30: 19-20.

    “Psalm 90” is marked in the Bible as "a prayer of Moses to God." Its contents are clearly a complaint by Moses on the condition of the fallen carnivorous Israelites, eating animal sacrifices according to the false covenant, the covenant written by false scribes, of Gen. 9: 2-3. They are in a state of sorrow, feeling God's anger and wrath, and by using the collective “we” in his description Moses shows his empathy.

     " For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.  Thou has set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.  For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off and we fly away." 7-10

    Moses’ description of the relationship between longevity and virtue in both Deuteronomy and Psalm 90 is based on Enoch’s moral observations in chapter 5 of the Book of Enoch.  Enoch describes the longevity of the elect after the judgment as a longevity not lessened by God's wrath.  This passage also clearly shows the relationship between virtue and longevity that was part of Moses' reasoning; that is that virtue would contribute to the length of one's days.  Here we have evidence showing that virtue to Moses meant that one did not sacrifice animals or eat animals.  In other words, the morality is the same as that of "Numbers 11."

          7a But for the elect there shall be light and joy and peace,
          b And they shall inherit the earth.
          8 And then there shall be bestowed upon the elect wisdom,
          And they shall all live and never again sin,
          Either through ungodliness or through pride:
          But they who are wise shall be humble.
          9 And they shall not again transgress,
          Nor shall they sin all the days of their life,
          Nor shall they die of (the divine) anger or wrath,
          But they shall complete the number of the days of their life.
          And their lives shall be increased in peace,
          And the years of their joy shall be multiplied,
          In eternal gladness and peace,
          All the days of their life.

Moses lived to be 120 and Aaron 127, dramatic evidence for their vegetarianism, for the fact that they did not feel "God's wrath," that is, were not victims of divine wrath and instead had the longevity Deity desired for them.  Moses’ discourse on the relationship of virtue to longevity in “Deuteronomy” and "Psalm 90" is simply his retelling of  Enoch’s teaching.

   Numerous parts of the Book of Enoch are referred to in the “Pentateuch.”  The notion that the Book of Enoch (1Enoch) is not actually the scripture of Enoch but pseudepigrapha is simply unproven theory, probably propagated by those refusing to acknowledge the permanent validity, or at least the great importance, of the vegetarian origins of Judaism.
