4101. And now all that God hath said unto thee, do. That this signifies the Lord’s providence, is evident from the signification of “doing all that God hath said,” as being to obey; but when predicated of the Lord, it signifies to provide; for He does not act from another, but from Himself; neither does God say to Himself that He should “do;” but He says, that is, acts, from Himself.
