9374. 'You and Aaron' means the Word in its inward and outward senses. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the Word, dealt with above in 9373; but when Aaron, who was his brother, is linked with him, 'Moses' represents the Word in its inward sense, and 'Aaron' the Word in its outward sense, as also before in 7089, 7382.
