8575. 'Yet a little, and they stone me' means that they are not far from doing violence to the truth from God. This is clear from the meaning of 'yet a little' as not far from; and from the meaning of 'stoning' as punishing for the violation of truth that relates to worship, dealt with in 7456, though here it is used in the contrary sense and so means doing violence to the truth from God, which 'Moses' represents. The fact that 'Moses' represents the truth from God has been shown rather often.
