8441. 'And so it was, as Aaron was speaking to all the assembly of Israel' means instruction received from the Divine through influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking' - when done by the Divine through truth going forth in an indirect way from the Lord, which is represented by 'Aaron' - as instruction received through influx, for when the Divine flows into a person He enters the truth that the person has been taught (for the meaning of 'speaking' as influx, see 2951, 5481, 5797, 7270, 8128, and as instruction, 7226, 7241); and from the representation of 'Aaron' as truth going forth from the Lord in an indirect way, dealt with in 7009, 7382.
