7164. 'And Moses returned to Jehovah and said' means complaint from the law of God. This is clear from the meaning of 'returning to Jehovah' as bearing complaint to the Divine regarding the molestation by those who are steeped in falsities and evils of those governed by truths and forms of good (the fact that 'returning to Jehovah' means complaint is evident from what follows); and from the representation of 'Moses' as the law of God, dealt with in 6723, 6752, 6771, 6827, 7014. The complaint comes therefore from truth belonging to the law of God, the substance of the complaint being that those steeped in falsities exercise such control over those in possession of truths.
