8444. 'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means truth that goes forth from the Lord's Divine and holds the Lord's presence within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as influx and instruction, as above in 8441; and from the representation of 'Moses' as truth that goes forth from the Lord's Divine, dealt with in 6752, 6771, 6827, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382. The Lord's presence within truth from the Divine is meant by Jehovah's speaking to Moses from the cloud in which the glory of Jehovah was seen; for 'the glory of Jehovah' is the Lord's presence within truth that goes forth from Him, 8427.

8441. 'And so it was, as Aaron was speaking to all the assembly of Israel' means instruction received from the Divine through influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' - when done by the Divine through truth going forth in an indirect way from the Lord, which is represented by 'Aaron' - as instruction received through influx, for when the Divine flows into a person He enters the truth that the person has been taught (for the meaning of 'speaking' as influx, see 2951, 5481, 5797, 7270, 8128, and as instruction, 7226, 7241); and from the representation of 'Aaron' as truth going forth from the Lord in an indirect way, dealt with in 7009, 7382.
