7694. Verses 16-20. And Pharaoh hastened to call Moses and Aaron; and he said, I have sinned to Jehovah your God, and to you. And now forgive I pray my sin only this once, and supplicate ye to Jehovah your God that He may remove from before me this death only. And he went out from before Pharaoh, and supplicated unto Jehovah. And Jehovah turned an exceeding strong sea wind, and took up the locust, and cast it into the sea Suph; there was not left one locust in all the border of Egypt. And Jehovah made firm Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let go the sons of Israel. “And Pharaoh hastened to call Moses and Aaron,” signifies fear then of truth from the Divine; “and he said, I have sinned to Jehovah your God, and to you,” signifies confession that they have not obeyed the Divine and the truth; “and now forgive I pray my sin only this once,” signifies that their disobedience should not be regarded; “and supplicate ye to Jehovah your God,” signifies intercession; “that He may remove from upon me this death only,” signifies that this falsity may not torment; “and he went out from before Pharaoh,” signifies separation; “and made supplication unto Jehovah,” signifies intercession; “and Jehovah turned an exceeding strong sea wind,” signifies the cessation of Divine influx through heaven; “and took up the locust,” signifies the end of this state; “and cast it into the sea Suph,” signifies into hell; “there was not left one locust in all the border of Egypt,” signifies that these falsities in the extremes appeared no more; “and Jehovah made firm Pharaoh’s heart,” signifies that the infesters were determined; “and he did not let go the sons of Israel,” signifies that they did not leave those of the spiritual church.
