9290. As I commanded thee. That this signifies in accordance with the laws of order, is evident from the signification of "commanding," when by the Lord, as being the Divine truth proceeding from Him, for this contains and teaches the commandments of life and of worship. This Divine truth is order itself in the heavens; and truths are the laws of this order (see n. 1728, 1919, 2258, 2447, 5703, 7995, 8700, 8988). From this it is evident that by "as I commanded thee" is signified in accordance with the laws of order.
