10704. And he went out, and spoke unto the sons of Israel that which was commanded. That this signifies communication with those who are in external things without what is internal concerning those things about which he was informed through the internal, is evident from the signification of “going out and speaking,” as being communication, for that which Moses heard from Jehovah, he communicated to the sons of Israel when he went out; from the representation of the sons of Israel, as being those who are in external things without internal things (see at the places cited in n. 10692); and from the signification of “which was commanded by Jehovah,” as being the things about which Moses was informed by the Lord. That “to be commanded” denotes to be informed is evident; and that “Jehovah” in the Word denotes the Lord may be seen at the places cited in n. 9373.
