9374. Thou and Aaron. That this signifies the Word in the internal sense and the external sense, is evident from the representation of Moses, as being the Word (of which above, n. 9372). But when Aaron, who was his brother, is joined to him, then Moses represents the Word in the internal sense, and Aaron the Word in the external sense (as also above, n. 7089, 7382).

2461. 'His two daughters with him' means as did affections deriving from that good. This is clear from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, dealt with in 489-491. But as is the good so are the affections deriving from it. Even spurious and impure good has its own affections, for all people have an affection for the things which they suppose to be good, whatever the actual nature of those things, since they are the objects of their love.
