8, 9...fue inaugurado en el cargo de sumo sacerdote de Israel. En ese papel, Aarón representa al Señor en cuanto al Bien Divino, y Moisés representa al Señor en cuanto a la Verdad Divina. Aarón era el hermano de Moisés. Él simboliza dos cosas, una durante la primera parte del éxodo, cuando era el portavoz de Moisés, y otra después de que se construyera el Tabernáculo y fuera inaugurado como sumo sacerdote. En la primera parte de la historia, Moisés representa la Palabra tal como es en realidad, tal como se entiende en el cielo, y Aarón representa la Palabra en su sentido externo tal como es entendida en el mundo por las personas. Por eso habla en nombre de Moisés y el Señor dice de él "será como una boca para ti, y tú serás para él como Dios". (Éxodo 4:16).

6998. 'And He said, Is there not Aaron your brother, the Levite?' means teachings that present what is good and true. This is clear from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord's Divine Goodness or His Priesthood; but here, before his introduction into the priesthood, he represents teachings that present what is good and true. This is also the reason why it says that he will be for Moses 'as a mouth', and Moses will be for him 'as a god'; for 'Moses' represents the Lord's Divine Truth as it goes forth directly from the Lord, and therefore 'Aaron' represents Divine Truth that goes forth from the Lord in an indirect way. And this truth consists in teachings that present what is good and true. The kind of truth that 'Moses' represents here is truth that a person is unable to hear or discern, 6982; but the kind of truth that 'Aaron' represents is truth he can hear and discern. This is why Aaron is called 'a mouth' and Moses is called 'his god'. It also explains why Aaron is referred to as 'the Levite', for Levite' means the Church's teachings presenting what is good and true, teachings which are of use and service to the priesthood.
