7311. Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying. That this signifies from the Divine of the church to those who were infesting, is evident from the signification of “the Hebrews,” as being the things of the church (see n. 5136, 6675, 6684, 6738); the Divine of the church is “Jehovah the God of the Hebrews,” and “Jehovah God” is the Lord, “Jehovah” as to Divine good, and “God” as to Divine truth; and from the signification of “hath sent me unto thee,” as being to those who infest. That by Pharaoh to whom Jehovah sent are represented those who infest, has often been shown above.

6738. And she said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children. That this signifies that it was of the church itself, is evident from the signification of “the Hebrews,” as being the things of the church (see n. 6675, 6684); thus the “children of the Hebrews” denote those who are of the church itself. That the “Hebrews” signify the things of the church, is because when the Ancient Church ceased, the Hebrew Church, which was the second Ancient Church, began. This church retained many of the representatives and significatives of the Ancient Church, and also acknowledged Jehovah; hence it is that by the “Hebrews” is signified the church. (Concerning the Hebrew Church, see n. 1238, 1241, 1343, 4516, 4517, 4874, 5136)
