6980. 'And Moses said to Jehovah' means perception from the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perceiving, dealt with often; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the Lord in respect of the Divine Law within the Human when He was in the world, dealt with in 6723, 6752, 6771, 6827; the Divine from which [the perception came] is meant by 'Jehovah'. From this it is evident that 'Moses said to Jehovah' means that the Lord's Human received its perception from His Divine.
