8332. 'For Pharaoh's horse came with his chariot and his horsemen' means all the falsities belonging to a perverted understanding that existed with those upholding separated faith and leading a life of evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'Pharaoh's horse', also 'his chariot and his horsemen', as all the falsities belonging to a perverted understanding, dealt with in 8146, 8148; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' and 'the Egyptians' as those who uphold faith separated from charity and lead a life of evil, dealt with in 7926, 8148.
