Arcana Coelestia #8128
8128. 'Speak to the children of Israel' means the influx of God's truth among those belonging to the spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as influx, dealt with in 2951, 5481, 5797, 7270; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223. The reason why 'speaking' means influx is that in the internal representative sense 'Moses' is Divine Truth, and Divine Truth enters a person's perception and thought through influx. Thought as a result of perception is inward speech, to which outward speech corresponds; and for that reason the former kind of speaking is meant in the internal sense by the latter.

2951. 'And he spoke to Ephron' means an influx with those who were able to receive it. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as thinking, 2271, 2287, also willing, 2626, and so as flowing in, for that is how influx is effected; and from the representation of 'Ephron' as those with whom the truth and good of faith could be received, dealt with in 2933.
