10280. 'And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying' means instruction given to those who belong to the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the children of Israel' as the Church, dealt with in the places referred to in 9340; and from the meaning of 'speaking' and 'saying', when what is said comes from Jehovah, as instruction, dealt with in 6879, 6881, 6883, 6891, 7186, 7226, 7241, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517, 8127.

6891. 'And you are to say to them' means instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying to them' - when it is to be done by Moses, who represents the law from God - as instruction, as above in 6879, 6881, 6883.
