7631. Come unto Pharaoh. That this signifies the presence of truth from the Divine with those who infest, is evident from the signification of “coming” or “entering” to anyone as being presence (see n. 5934, 6003, 6089, 7498); from the representation of Moses, as being truth from the Divine (see n. 6771, 6827); and from the representation of Pharaoh, as being those who in the other life infest those who are of the spiritual church (n. 6651, 6679, 6683, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228).

6679. And did not as the king of Egypt spoke to them. That this signifies that it was not done as those who were in falsities intended, is evident from the signification of “they did not do as he spoke,” as being that it was not done as they intended, namely, that those who were in falsities were not able to destroy the truths which are signified by “sons,” but that they intended to destroy them in every way they could (see n. 6676); and from the signification of “the king of Egypt,” as being separated memory-knowledge which is opposed to the truth of the church (see n. 6651), thus falsity, for this memory-knowledge is falsity.
