9813. 'The sons of Aaron' means things which emanate from the Divine Celestial. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sons' as things which are born from another as from a father, thus things which emanate from it; and from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord in respect of the Divine Celestial, dealt with just above in 9810.

Since divine truth is the light in the heavens, all true things are luminous there wherever they occur - whether within an angel, outside of an angel, within the heavens, or outside of the heavens. Still, the truths outside the heavens do not shine the way the truths inside the heavens do. The truths outside the heavens shine coldly, like something snowy, without warmth, because unlike truths within the heavens, they do not derive their essence from what is good. So that cold light disappears at the touch of heaven's light; and if there is some underlying evil, it turns to darkness. I have seen this several times, along with many other remarkable things concerning luminous truths, which I forego for now.
