10625. 'And Moses made haste and bowed to the earth, and adored' means the reception at that time of what flowed into the outward form, and worship as a result of humility. This is clear from the meaning of 'making haste' as affection, dealt with in 7695, 7866, at this point reception through influx, for all influx from the Divine takes place into a person's affection, and the person receives it within his affection too; from the representation of 'Moses' as the outward form taken by the Church, worship, and the Word, which is receptive of what is inward, dealt with in 10607, 10614; from the meaning of 'bowing down' as exterior humility, dealt with in 5682, 7068; and from the meaning of 'adoring' as worship.

7695. 'And Pharaoh hastened to call Moses and Aaron' means fear at this time of the truth from God. This is clear from the meaning of 'hastening' as acting out of fear, for all haste is the result of some feeling that has been aroused, in this case a feeling of fear, as is evident from Pharaoh's words 'I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you; plead with Him to remove from me this death only'; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who engage in molestation, dealt with rather often; and from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as the truth from God, 'Moses' being inward truth and 'Aaron' outward truth, dealt with in 7089, 7382.
