Synthesized answer
The provided passages offer population statistics for Aarhus from 1890 (33,306) and 1901 (51,909) [1]. This shows significant growth in the city's population in the decade preceding the 1905 publication of The New International Encyclopædia. The entry for Aaron (biblical) details his role as Moses' elder brother, a Jewish High Priest, his involvement in miracles, and his participation in rebellions [2]. Additionally, there is a mention of the first day of the month of Ab being a fast to commemorate the death of Aaron [5].
The passages do not contain information about the cultural and academic priorities of the era in relation to these statistics or biblical entries. They also do not offer insights into knowledge itself stemming from these details.
