Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8923

8923. 'And Moses said to the people' means an informing. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' - in this instance Moses' saying to the people - as an informing; for the things he said are pieces of information connected with the matter about which they complained. In other places 'saying' in like manner means an informing, when information or instructions are given regarding an enquiry that has been made, as in 7769, 7793, 7825, 8041.
