Arcana Coelestia # 8048
8048. 'And Moses said to the people' means instruction through God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when things to be observed within the Church are specified by means of God's truth, as instruction, dealt with in 7186, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517; and from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth, dealt with above in 8041.
