7222. 'And Moses spoke to Jehovah, saying' means the law from God and thought from it. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' as thought, dealt with in 2271, 2287, 2619; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the law from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827.

6772. 'And Moses fled from before Pharaoh' means that it was separated from falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'fleeing as being separated; from the representation of 'Moses as the truth which the law from God possessed, dealt with immediately above in 6771; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as falsity, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, 6771. There now begins here the fifth state in the development of the law of God within the Lord's Human, and in the relative sense in the development of God's truth with a person who is being regenerated. It is a state of being separated from falsities and being linked to the truths that go with simple good. After that follows the sixth state, which is that of being linked to good.
