12
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
Exodus 5:12
Arcana Coelestia # 7151
7151. 'And now go, serve' means a continuation of the molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'serving' as being molested by falsities, dealt with in 7120, 7129, and therefore 'go, serve' is a continuation of the molestation. For they complained about the service imposed on them, but the reply was that they were to continue serving.
