7110. 'And Pharaoh gave orders that day' means a strong desire to molest the Church's truths while in that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving orders' as a command, and since a command issued by the evil contains a strong desire to do what is evil - for that is the source of any command they issue - 'he gave orders' also means a strong desire; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who molest the Church's truths, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683; and from the meaning of 'day' as state, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 497, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850.
