3401. “于是亚比米勒吩咐众民说” 表法令. 这从 “吩咐” 和 “民” 的含义, 以及 “亚比米勒” 的代表清楚可知: “吩咐” 是指颁布法令; “亚比米勒” 是指那些拥有信之教义的人 (3392节), 就至高意义而言, 是指主 (3393节); “民” 是指那些属于属灵教会的人 (3398节). 由此明显可知, “亚比米勒吩咐众民” 表主在属灵教会所颁布的法令. 法令本身就是接下来的内容, 即: 不可透露神圣真理和神圣良善, 甚至不可通过信靠近它们, 因为如果它们遭到亵渎, 就有永恒诅咒的危险. 这就是接下来所论述的主题.

'Word,' as in Isaiah 9:8, signifies the doctrine of internal and external worship. 'Word,' as in Psalms 119:6-17, stands for doctrine in general.

'The Word,' as in Psalms 147:18, signifies divine good united with divine truth.

The whole Word is nothing but the doctrine of love towards the Lord, and love towards our neighbor, as in Matthew 22.
