10234. And Jehovah spoke unto Moses, saying. That this signifies perceptivity from enlightenment through the Word by the Lord, is evident from the signification of “Jehovah speaking unto Moses,” as being enlightenment through the Word by the Lord (see n. 10215); and from the signification of “saying” as being perception (n. 2862, 3509, 5743, 8660). Be it known that when anything new, distinct from what goes before, is to be set forth, it is said that “Jehovah spoke unto Moses,” as in this chapter (verses 11-17, 22, 34); and also in other passages. The new thing now set forth is about purification from evils and falsities.
