7955. 'And he called Moses and Aaron by night' means the afflux of truth from God in that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'he called' as presence and influx (or flowing into), dealt with in 6177, 6840, 7790, 7451, 7721, at this point an afflux (or flowing towards) since it is speaking about those in a state of damnation, that is, in a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil (these people are unable to receive into themselves inwardly any influx of truth and good; they receive it only outwardly, which is afflux); representation of 'Moses and from the Aaron' as the truth from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827 (the expression 'the truth from God' is used, not 'God's truth', because it has reference to those lost in damnation); and from the meaning of 'by night' as a state of damnation, dealt with above in 7851, 7870.
