10615. 'And proclaimed the name of Jehovah' means worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love, and so preparation for reception. This is clear from the meaning of 'proclaiming the name of Jehovah' as worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love. For 'proclaiming' means worship, see 440, 2724, while 'the name of Jehovah' means everything in its entirety by which the Lord is worshipped, thus everything of faith and love, 2724, 6674, 9310, and also the Lord's Divine Human, 2628, 6887, 'Jehovah' in the Word being the Lord, see in the places referred to in 9373. From all this it is evident that 'proclaiming the name of Jehovah' means worship of the Lord springing from the truths and forms of the good of faith and love. The reason why preparation for being received is also meant is that the subject in what follows immediately after this is the Israelite nation who were to be received and for whom Moses prayed.
