Arcana Coelestia # 8923
8923. 'And Moses said to the people' means an informing. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' - in this instance Moses' saying to the people - as an informing; for the things he said are pieces of information connected with the matter about which they complained. In other places 'saying' in like manner means an informing, when information or instructions are given regarding an enquiry that has been made, as in 7769, 7793, 7825, 8041.
Arcana Coelestia # 8041
8041. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instructions given by the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' and 'saying', when Jehovah talks about things of the Church that are to be observed, as instructions, dealt with in 7769, 7793, 7825, and - since Jehovah is the speaker - as instructions given by the Divine; and from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth, dealt with in 6771, 7014, 7382. So it is that 'Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instructions given by the Divine through Divine Truth.
