7198. 'And also I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel' means their distress arising from conflict. This is clear from the meaning of 'the groaning' as distress arising from conflict; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, who are molested by falsities and therefore involved in conflict.

7825. 'And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron' means instructions given by God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when the message is from Jehovah regarding things to be established within the Church, as giving instructions, for 'saying' includes what comes after it; and from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as God's truth, 'Moses' truth that emanates directly from God, 'Aaron' that which does so indirectly, dealt with in 7009, 7010, 7089, 7382.
