1037. And God said. That this signifies that it was so, has been said and shown before; for the “saying of God” or “of Jehovah” signifies that it was so. The most ancient people arranged the things of the church in the form of history; and when they wished to affirm that a thing was so, they said that “God said” or “Jehovah said” and this was their form of asseveration and confirmation.
