8817. 'And Moses caused the people to go out of the camp to meet God' means the power of the truth from God to make them ready to receive the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'causing the people to go out to meet God' as the power to make them ready to receive the Divine. For the subject further on is the Law declared on Mount Sinai, and this was the Divine which they were about to receive, the Law being Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good. Consequently 'causing to go out to meet' is the power to make ready for reception, exercised by the truth from God, which 'Moses' represents, 8760, 8787, 8805.
