9810. 'Aaron' means in respect of the Divine Celestial, that is to say, that which is representative of the Lord in this respect. This is clear from the representation of 'Aaron' as the Lord in respect of Divine Good, dealt with above in 9806. The Divine Celestial is what is Divine and the Lord's in the inmost heaven; for the angels there are called celestial angels, being recipients of Divine Truth in the will part of their mind. Divine Truth emanating from the Lord that has been received in that part is called celestial good, whereas that received in the understanding part is called spiritual good. As regards the nature of each kind of good - celestial good and spiritual good - and what the difference is between them, see the places referred to in 9277, 9543.
