7994. 'And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron' means instructions given by God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah said', when the statutes of the Church are the subject, as giving instructions, dealt with in 7186, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517, 7769, 7793, 7825; and from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as God's truth, 'Moses' being internal truth and 'Aaron' external truth, dealt with in 7009, 7010, 7089, 7382.

7383. 'Over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools' means against falsities. This is clear from the meaning of Egypt's 'rivers' and 'streams' as teachings that consist of falsity, dealt with in 7323; and from the meaning of 'pools' as factual knowledge that is subservient to those teachings, dealt with in 7324. Accordingly, falsities are what are meant by 'rivers, streams, and pools'.
