Εαν ομως ηναι οι εν τω οικω ολιγοστοι δια το αρνιον, αυτος και ο γειτων αυτου ο πλησιεστερος της οικιας αυτου ας λαβωσιν αυτο κατα τον αριθμον των ψυχων· εκαστος θελει συναριθμεισθαι δια το αρνιον αναλογως με το αρκετον εις αυτον να φαγη.

Arcana Coelestia # 7980
7980. 'because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait' means because they were removed from those steeped in falsity arising from evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'being driven out' as being removed, since one who is driven out is removed, see above in 7964; from the meaning of 'Egypt' as those steeped in falsity arising from evil, dealt with before; and from the meaning of 'not being able to wait' as circumstances necessitating removal.
