Exodus 3:18

Studie

       

18 And they will give ear to your voice: and you, with the chiefs of Israel, will go to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to The Lord our God.

6903. 'Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, has come to meet us' means the Lord's Divine in the Church, and what was commanded by Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'the Hebrews' as the Church, dealt with in 5136, 6675, 6684 (the reason why' Jehovah God' is the Lord's Divine is that in the Word none other than the Lord is meant by 'Jehovah', 1776, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5667, 6303); and from the meaning here of 'coming to meet' as what was commanded, since 'coming to meet' is used here to mean that He spoke to them and gave them orders. The fact that this is what is implied by 'has come to meet' is clear from the consideration that it no longer states the actual words spoken by Him but goes on immediately to express what had been commanded by Him.
