7063. 'And Aaron spoke all the words which Jehovah had spoken to Moses' means doctrinal teachings received thereby from the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking', when used in connection with the teachings represented by 'Aaron', as utterance and declaration, dealt with in 6987, 6999; from the representation of 'Aaron' as truth going forth in an indirect way from the Lord's Divine, thus teachings that present what is true and good, dealt with in 6998, 7009; and from the meaning of 'the words which Jehovah had spoken to Moses' as from the Divine, that is, through truth that goes forth directly from the Lord's Divine, the kind of truth that 'Moses' represents, 7010, 7054.

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.
