12 Men da Moses' hender blev tunge, tok de en sten og la under ham, og han satte sig på den; og Aron og Hur støttet hans hender, den ene på den ene side og den andre på den andre side; så holdt hans hender sig støe helt til solen gikk ned.

9425. 'He who has words, let him go to them' means that by means of those teachings falsities are to be removed. This is clear from the meaning of 'having words' as disputing in regard to truths, for 'words' are truths, 1288, 4692, 5272; and from the meaning of 'going to them' as doing so in order that they may be judged by means of those teachings (for teachings derived from the outward sense of the Word are meant by 'Aaron and Hur', to whom they were to go) thus also in order that falsities may be removed. For one who judges by means of doctrinal teachings in a dispute about truths removes falsities. Aaron however did not remove falsities; instead he removed truths, as is clear from the worship of the golden calf in place of Jehovah, described further on. For as stated just above, those who teach the outward things of the Word without the aid of what lies within, thus without the aid of authentic teachings about what is good and true, do not see the difference between truth and falsity, nor between good and evil. Rather, whatever coincides with the illusions of the senses they call truth, and whatever coincides with selfish cravings they call good. So they call falsity truth, and evil they call good.

Arcana Coelestia # 6998

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.
