In Genesis 25:16, because they were outside the cities, signifies the external things of the church. (Arcana Coelestia 3270)

In Joshua 21:12, this signifies again a new church which was both internal and external. (Arcana Coelestia 2909[3])

In Exodus 8:13, this signifies the exteriors of the natural mind (because they were Egyptian Villages) (Arcana Coelestia 7407)

In Isaiah 42:11, this signifies natural knowledges, and memorized things. (Apocalypse Explained 405[12])

In Matthew 9:35, this signifies that a new church was to be proclaimed both in heaven and on earth. (Apocalypse Explained 612[7, 8])

'Villages,' as in Exodus 8:13, signify the exteriors of the natural mind.

7407. 'And the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields' means that with those people reasonings arising from utter falsities, wherever they were present in the natural, came to an end. This is clear from the meaning of 'dying' as coming to an end; from the meaning of 'the frogs' as reasonings arising from utter falsities, dealt with above; from the meaning of 'the houses' as parts of the natural mind, dealt with above in 7397, at this point interior parts within it; from the meaning of 'the courtyards' as exterior parts of the natural mind (the natural has an interior and an exterior, see 3293, 3294, 4570, 5118, 5497, 5649); and from the meaning of 'the fields' as the more general and so even more exterior parts, since the fields are outside the houses and courtyards. Thus 'the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courtyards, and out of the fields' means that reasonings arising from utter falsities, wherever they existed in the natural, came to an end.
