Say

  

As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.

6902. 'And you are to say to him' means influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as influx, dealt with in 5743, 6152, 6291. The reason why 'saying' here is influx is that the communication dealt with in 6901 - the communication of such truths as belong to the law from God, and to intelligence acquired from that source - is effected by means of influx.
