2238. That 'Jehovah said' means perception is clear from the meaning in the historical sense of 'saying' as perceiving, dealt with frequently already. When 'Jehovah said' occurs in the historical descriptions of the Word it means perception, which is not altogether a continuation of the perception that went before it, but a subsequent perception and sometimes a new one. See also 2061.
