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.

7851. 'On that night' means when the damnation of the evil takes place. This is clear from the meaning of 'night' as a state of devastation of truth and good, dealt with in 221, 709, 2353, 7776, and so damnation. For when truth and good are no longer present, only falsity and evil, there is damnation, at this point the damnation of the ones who molested those belonging to the spiritual Church.
