ὡς δὲ ἐξαπέστειλεν φαραω τὸν λαόν οὐχ ὡδήγησεν αὐτοὺς ὁ θεὸς ὁδὸν γῆς φυλιστιιμ ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν εἶπεν γὰρ ὁ θεός μήποτε μεταμελήσῃ τῷ λαῷ ἰδόντι πόλεμον καὶ ἀποστρέψῃ εἰς αἴγυπτον

8068. 'That the law of Jehovah may be in your mouth' means in order that Divine Truth may be in everything coming from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'the law of Jehovah' as Divine Truth, dealt with in 7463; and from the meaning of 'being in the mouth' as in everything coming from there, that is, from the understanding and the will. For 'in the mouth' is in speech, and speech includes both parts of the mind, both the understanding and the will parts, the understanding being within the meaning conveyed by words and descriptions, the will within the affection that gives speech its life.
