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.

7304. 'And Jehovah said to Moses' means Divine instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'said', when something is commanded anew, as instruction, dealt with in 7186, 7267, 7288, at this point - since Jehovah was the speaker - Divine instruction, that is to say, instruction about further action.
