7095. Who is Jehovah, whose voice I should hear? That this signifies concerning the Lord, to whose exhortation they should hearken (that is, that the contrary thought should do so), is evident from the signification of “voice,” as here being exhortation, because meaning what Moses and Aaron said to Pharaoh (see n. 7090); and from the signification of “to hear,” as being to obey (n. 2542, 3869, 5017); thus “to hear a voice” denotes to obey or hearken to exhortation. That it is the Lord to whose exhortation he was unwilling to hearken, is because by “Jehovah” in the Word no other than the Lord is meant, as may be seen above (n. 7091).
