8692. Because the people cometh unto me to inquire of God. That this signifies that they do not will and act from any other source than from the fact that the Word has so said, is evident from the representation of Moses, as being truth Divine, thus the Word (n. 5922, 6723, 6752); and from the signification of “the people coming to him to inquire of God,” as being to consult what the Divine dictates, thus what they should will and do.
