8425. 'And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel' means instructions given by God's truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when it refers to the things Jehovah commanded those belonging to the spiritual Church, as instructions, dealt with also in 7769, 7793, 7825, 8041; from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as God's truth, 'Moses' inward truth and 'Aaron' outward truth, dealt with in 7009, 7089, 7382; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual church, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223.
