7406. 'And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses' means that it was so done according to the Lord's word, for although what Moses pleaded for came out of the mouth of Moses it nevertheless originated with the Lord. For whatever a person thinks and then speaks, and whatever he wills and then does, flows into him. A person is merely a receiving organ, see 6189-6215, 6307, 6327, 6466-6495, 6598-6606, 6613-6626; and so was Moses in the things that he spoke and did. This is why what is said here - 'Jehovah did according to the word of Moses' - means that it was so done in accordance with the Lord's word, Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905.
