Say
As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
Judah and his tribe
In the highest sense 'Judah and his tribe' symbolizes the Lord in relation to celestial love, in the spiritual sense, the Lord's celestial kingdom and the Word, and in the natural sense, the doctrine of a celestial church drawn from the Word. 'Judah' symbolizes in its opposite sense the love of self.
