8359. 'And He said' means instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when done by Jehovah, referring to the truth of order in respect of temptations, as instruction, as also in 6879, 6881, 6883, 6891, 7186, 7267, 7304, 7380, 7517, 8127.

7380. 'And Jehovah said to Moses' means instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as instruction, dealt with in 7186, 7304. What is meant by the verb 'say' when used in the historical narratives of the Word is evident from what comes after it, for whatever follows goes together with it. The reason why at this point it means instruction is that Jehovah says what further things had to be done. Also 'Moses' represents the law of God, through which instruction is given by Jehovah.
