8156. 'All Pharaoh's chariot-horses, and his horsemen, and his army' means everything composing the falsity belonging to a perverted understanding. This is clear from the meaning of 'horses' as the power of understanding, dealt with in 2761, 2762, 3217, 5321, 7024, 8029, at this point a perverted understanding, such as that which exists in people who are steeped in evil, and in falsity arising from it; from the meaning of 'chariots' as doctrinal teachings, dealt with in 2760, 5321, 5945, 8146; from the meaning of 'horsemen' as things connected with the understanding, dealt with in 6534, at this point false reasonings belonging to a perverted understanding; and from the meaning of 'army' as falsities, dealt with above in 8138. From all these meanings it is evident that 'Pharaoh's chariot-horses, and his horsemen, and his army' means the factual knowledge, reasonings, and falsities belonging to a perverted understanding, thus everything composing the falsity there.
