8170. 'And Moses said to the people' means being raised by God's truth from a state of despair. This is clear from the things following next that Moses actually said, which imply being raised from a state of despair. It is said to be done by God's truth because any raising up in a state of temptations is done by God's truth. For the use of 'Moses' to mean God's truth in the representative internal sense, see 6752, 7010, 7014, 7089, 7382.
