7952. 'And Pharaoh rose that night, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians' means that when all the damned without exception were brought into a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil they felt a loathing and fear of those belonging to the spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'night' as a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil, as above in 7947, and therefore damnation, for whether you say a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil or damnation it amounts to the same thing since those in that state have been damned; and from the meaning of 'Pharaoh, his servants, and all the Egyptians' as all of them without exception. The further meaning that they felt a loathing and fear of those belonging to the spiritual Church is evident from what follows. For [the next verse] says that Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and told them to go away from the midst of his people, and verse 39 that the Egyptians drove them out.
