6994. Verses 13-17 And he said, By me,* Lord, send, I beg You, through the hand [of another] You may send. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and He said, Is there not Aaron your brother, the Levite? I know that he will speak ably. And also, behold, he is coming out to meet you; and he will see you and be glad in his heart. And you are to speak to him, and to put words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and will teach you the things you will do. And he will speak for you to the people; and it will happen, that he will be for you as a mouth, and you will be for him as a god. And you are to take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.
'And he said, By me, Lord' means a categorical assertion. 'Send, I beg You, through the hand [of another] You may send' means that Divine Truth going forth from the Divine Human will be uttered in an indirect way. 'And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses' means leniency. 'And He said, Is there not Aaron your brother, the Levite?' means teachings that present what is good and true. 'I know that he will speak' means declaration. 'And also, behold, he is coming out to meet you' means reception. 'And he will see you' means perception. 'And be glad in his heart' means an affection belonging to love. 'And you are to speak to him' means influx. 'And to put words in his mouth' means that the things he utters will go forth from the Divine Human. '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. 'And with his mouth' means that it will therefore be with the things that come from there. 'And will teach you the things you will do' means that the Divine will therefore be within every single thing that is going to happen. 'And he will speak for you to the people' means that he will be the teaching presented to the spiritual Church. 'And it will happen, that he will be for you as a mouth' means the truth contained in doctrinal teachings, which also goes forth from the Lord in an indirect way. 'And you will be for him as a god' means Divine Truth that goes forth directly from the Lord. 'And you are to take this rod in your hand' means Divine power in these [two kinds of truth]. 'With which you shall do the signs' means consequent enlightenment and corroboration of truths. * The Latin In me represents the Hebrew Bi; cp Genesis 43:20; 44:18.
