8645. 'Heard all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people' means a perception of the things which had been done for those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual kingdom. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing', hearing all that God had done, as perception, dealt with in 5017, 8361; from the meaning of 'all that God had done' as the things which had been done by the Divine; and from the representation of Israel, to whom 'Moses' and 'the people' for whom those things had been done refer here, as those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223. 'Moses' together with 'the people' represents that kingdom, 'Moses' as the head and 'the people' as the things subordinate to the head. Thus also 'Moses' represents the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, for the spiritual kingdom arises from this.
