7159. 'Who were standing in their way, as they came out from Pharaoh' means a manifestation at a time when falsities did not molest quite so much. This is clear from the meaning of 'standing in the way', when the expression is used in reference to the Divine Law and the teaching that is derived from it, as a manifestation; and from the meaning of 'coming out from Pharaoh' as a time when falsities did not molest quite so much - 'Pharaoh' being falsity that molests, see 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142.

7159a 'And they said to them' means perception. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perception, dealt with often.

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.
