9425. 'He who has words, let him go to them' means that by means of those teachings falsities are to be removed. This is clear from the meaning of 'having words' as disputing in regard to truths, for 'words' are truths, 1288, 4692, 5272; and from the meaning of 'going to them' as doing so in order that they may be judged by means of those teachings (for teachings derived from the outward sense of the Word are meant by 'Aaron and Hur', to whom they were to go) thus also in order that falsities may be removed. For one who judges by means of doctrinal teachings in a dispute about truths removes falsities. Aaron however did not remove falsities; instead he removed truths, as is clear from the worship of the golden calf in place of Jehovah, described further on. For as stated just above, those who teach the outward things of the Word without the aid of what lies within, thus without the aid of authentic teachings about what is good and true, do not see the difference between truth and falsity, nor between good and evil. Rather, whatever coincides with the illusions of the senses they call truth, and whatever coincides with selfish cravings they call good. So they call falsity truth, and evil they call good.

In Exodus 17:10, this signifies divine truth proceeding mediately again (after Moses); so the three stand for divine truth in successive order. (Arcana Coelestia 8603)

In Exodus 24:14, this signifies the truth of doctrine from the literal sense of the Word. (Arcana Coelestia 9424)
