AC - 8337 - Moses, Aaron, Miriam

AC 8337
. . . Moses represents the truth of faith
which proceeds immediately from the Lord,
thus internal truth;
while Aaron represents the truth of faith
which proceeds mediately from the Lord,
thus external truth;
consequently "Miriam" denotes the good of faith
which proceeds mediately from the Lord;
for when men represent truth,
 their women represent good.
As Miriam with the women represent external good,
therefore it is added "the sister of Aaron,"
and it is not said "the sister of Moses."
Moreover good and truth are circumstanced
like sister and brother.
But be it known that women represent good,
and men truth,
when the spiritual church is treated of;
whereas women represent truth,
and men good,
when the celestial church is treated of.
