7994. 'And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron' means instructions given by God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah said', when the statutes of the Church are the subject, as giving instructions, dealt with in 7186, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517, 7769, 7793, 7825; and from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as God's truth, 'Moses' being internal truth and 'Aaron' external truth, dealt with in 7009, 7010, 7089, 7382.

7769. 'Say now in the ears of the people' means instructions and obedience. This is clear from the meaning here of 'saying' as instructions, for Jehovah here says what the children of Israel are to do when they are about to depart from Egypt. Obedience is meant by 'saying in the ears', for the ears correspond to obedience and consequently serve to mean it, 2542, 3869, 4551, 4652-4660.
