7639. 'Thus says Jehovah the God of the Hebrews' means a command from the Lord who is the God of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when the message is from Jehovah to those engaged in molestation, as a command, as above in 7630; and from the meaning of 'the Hebrews' as those who belong to the Church, dealt with in 5136, 6675, 6684, 6738, 'Jehovah God' being the Lord, see above in 7636.
