Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 10119

10119. 'According to all that I have commanded you' means according to the laws of Divine order. This is clear from the meaning of 'commanding' - when done by Jehovah, that is, the Lord - as according to the laws of Divine order. Whatever the Lord commands is according to Divine order, thus according to its laws; for Divine Truth emanating from the Lord's Divine Good in the heavens, thus the Lord there, constitutes true order, and therefore everything the Lord commands is a law of order. Laws of order are Divine Truths which are the Lord's, see 1728, 2258, 2447, 5703, 7995, 8512, 8700, 8988.
