Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8493. 'This is what Jehovah has spoken' means influx from the Divine. This is clear from the consideration that Jehovah or the Lord instructs by means of influx, and that this is expressed in the historical narratives of the Word by 'saying' and 'speaking'. 'Speaking' means influx in other places as well, see 2951, 5481, 5797, 7270, 8128.
