AC 7406 - Moses Begged the Lord and the Lord Took Away the Frogs

AC 7406

And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses.
(Exodus 8:12)

That this means that it was so done
according to the word of the Lord,
is evident from the fact
that what Moses supplicated
was indeed from the mouth of Moses,
but still was from the Lord;
for whatever a person thinks and then speaks,
and whatever he wills and then does,
flows in,
the person being merely a recipient organ;
just so it was with what Moses spoke and did;
therefore here by
"Jehovah did according to the word of Moses"
is meant that it was so done
according to the word of the Lord.

(That "Jehovah" in the Word denotes the Lord,
see n. 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023,
3035, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905.)
