8438. 'Say to all the assembly of the children of Israel' means instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' - when done by God's truth addressing members of the Church regarding things to be carried out by Divine command - as instruction, as also in 7186, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517, 8127; and from the meaning of 'the assembly of the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual church, dealt with in 7843.
