9525. 'Everything that I shall command you for the children of Israel' means the worship of the representative Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'commanding', when done by Jehovah addressing Moses, as those things that belong to worship, for everything that Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel was such as had to do with worship; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 9340, at this point simply a representation of the spiritual Church, for all the things that had been established among the children of Israel were outward ceremonies that did no more than represent the inner realities of the Church and had nothing of those realities themselves within them. Regarding this see the places referred to at the end of 9320.
