That this signifies confession that they have not obeyed the Divine and the truth, is evident from the signification of “sinning,” as being to do contrary to Divine order (see n. 5076), and to avert and separate one’s self from it, thus from good and truth (n. 5229, 5474, 5841, 7589), consequently it also denotes not to obey the Divine and the truth, for he who does not obey averts himself. The Divine is what is meant by “Jehovah your God,” and the truth by “Moses and Aaron” (n. 7695).
