8645. 'Heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people' means a perception of the things which had been done for those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual kingdom. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing', hearing all that God had done, as perception, dealt with in 5017, 8361; from the meaning of 'all that God had done' as the things which had been done by the Divine; and from the representation of Israel, to whom 'Moses' and 'the people' for whom those things had been done refer here, as those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223. 'Moses' together with 'the people' represents that kingdom, 'Moses' as the head and 'the people' as the things subordinate to the head. Thus also 'Moses' represents the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, for the spiritual kingdom arises from this.

6861. Verses 9-12 And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me; and also I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. And now, go, and I will send you to Pharaoh; and lead My people the children of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should lead the children of Israel out of Egypt? And He said, Because I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you lead the people out of Egypt you shall worship God beside this mountain.

'And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me' means compassion on those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And also I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them' means because of the endeavour by those steeped in falsities to bring them into subjection. 'And now, go, I will send you to Pharaoh' means the Holy influence going forth from the Lord's Human, by which molesting falsities would be dispelled. 'And lead My people the children of Israel out of Egypt' means the consequent deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church from molesting falsities. 'And Moses said to God' means perception received from the Divine, and a state of humility. 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?' means that he had not yet arrived at the kind of state in which it seemed to him that he was able to face molesting falsities and remove them from himself. 'And that I should lead the children of Israel out' means and so deliver those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And He said, Because I will be with you' means that the Divine would be within the Human. 'And this will be the sign to you that I have sent you' means the recognition that the Divine would go forth from Him. 'When you lead the people out of Egypt' means when those who were spiritual had been delivered from molestation by falsities. 'You shall worship God beside this mountain' means a perception and acknowledgement of the Divine springing from love.
