10119. According to all that I have commanded thee. That this signifies according to the laws of Divine order, is evident from the signification of "commanding," when said of Jehovah, that is, the Lord, as being according to the laws of Divine order; for whatever the Lord commands is according to Divine order, thus according to its laws, because the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord's Divine good in the heavens, thus the Lord there, is order itself; and therefore everything that the Lord commands is a law of order. (That the laws of order are Divine truths of the Lord, see n. 1728, 2258, 2447, 5703, 7995, 8512, 8700, 8988.)
