7944. 'And the children of Israel went and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron' means that those belonging to the spiritual Church obeyed God's truth. This is dear from the meaning of 'going and doing' as obeying; from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, dealt with often; and from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as God's truth, 'Moses' being inward truth and 'Aaron' outward, dealt with in 7089, 7382.
