Height

  

In Ezekiel 19:11, this signifies the pride of self-intelligence from knowledges, particularly in the Jewish church. (Apocalypse Explained 727[3]) 'Height' can also signify the good and truth of the church in every degree.

Pharaoh

  

'Pharaoh,' in Genesis 40, represents the new natural self. 'Pharaoh' and 'the Egyptians' in the Word, signify the sensory and scientific principles. 'Let Pharaoh live,' as in Genesis 42:16, is a phrase that is employed to say something emphatically, thus to state a certainty. 'Pharaoh and his army' signify people who are in falsities from evil. 'Pharaoh' signifies false ideas infesting the truth of the church. It also signifies scientific ideas, or the natural principle in general.
