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.

7241. 'That Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instruction from the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah speaking' as instruction once again, dealt with in 7226; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the law from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827.
