8070. And thou shalt keep this statute at the set time from year to year. That this signifies that this law of order must be in this state continually, is evident from the signification of “statute,” as being a law of order (see n. 7884, 7995); from the signification of “time,” as being state (n. 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3827, 3938, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 6110, 7381); hence “at the set time” denotes in this state; and from the signification of “year,” as being an entire period from beginning to end (n. 2906); thus “from year to year” denotes continually.

4916. And it came to pass in the time. That this signifies a following state, is evident from the signification of “time,” as being state (n. 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3827, 4882, 4901). That its “coming to pass in the time” signifies a following state is evident, because what came to pass now follows (see also n. 4814).
