8048. 'And Moses said to the people' means instruction through God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when things to be observed within the Church are specified by means of God's truth, as instruction, dealt with in 7186, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517; and from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth, dealt with above in 8041.

7517. 'And Jehovah said to Moses and to Aaron' means fresh instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah said' as instruction, as above in 7497. The instruction is fresh because a new state is dealt with now, the previous one having come to an end. Instruction given by Jehovah comes through the truth that emanates from Him; and truth that emanates from Jehovah is represented by 'Moses and Aaron', inward truth by 'Moses' and outward truth by 'Aaron', 7382.
