8477. 'And Moses said to them' means an admonition. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', which includes what comes after it, in this instance an admonition that they should not leave any of it till the morning, for 'saying' may also mean admonishing, see 7090, 8178

8500. 'And it did not become putrid, and there was no worm in it' means that there was nothing foul within it, because in that way they acted from the Divine in making it their own. This is clear from the meaning of 'putrifying' as something foul and hellish, spoken of in reference to evil, dealt with above in 8482; and from the meaning of 'worm' too as something foul and hellish, but spoken of in reference to falsity, dealt with in 8481. The fact that such things are present in whatever is done from self, but heavenly and Divine qualities within whatever is done from the Lord, see 8478.
