Exode 12:4

Studie

       

4 Mais si la famille est moindre qu'il ne faut pour [manger] un petit d'entre les brebis ou d'entre les chèvres, qu'il prenne son voisin qui est près de sa maison, selon le nombre des personnes; vous compterez combien il en faudra pour manger un petit d'entre les brebis ou d'entre les chèvres, ayant égard à ce que chacun de vous peut manger.

7937. 'That you shall say' means thought. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as thought, dealt with in 3395, 7094. The reason why 'saying' here means thought is that 'saying' just above in 7935 meant perception belonging to conscience; but here it introduces a reply, which in relation to the perception belonging to conscience is thought.

3395. 'And Isaac said to him, Because I said, Perhaps I may die because of her' means that it would not be received. This is clear from what has been stated above in 3387, at the words 'for he was afraid to say, My wife, [thinking,] The men of the place may perhaps kill me on account of Rebekah'. More plainly than anywhere else 'saying' here means perceiving and thinking.
