7005. 'And I will be with your mouth' means that God's truth will go forth from the Divine itself by way of the Divine Human. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the Lord in respect of God's truth, dealt with already; and from the meaning of 'being with your mouth' as being within God's truth which goes forth from the Divine Human - the Divine itself, which is called the Father, being meant by 'I' or Jehovah. From this it is evident that 'I will be with your mouth' means that God's truth goes forth from the Divine itself by way of the Divine Human, which is the same as saying that the holiness of the Spirit proceeds from the Son, and the Son from the Father, as the Church teaches. But this should be taken to mean that that Trinity resides within the Lord and makes one there.
