8668. 'And Moses told his father-in-law all that Jehovah had done to Pharaoh and the Egyptians' means perception at this time from God's truth' regarding the power of the Lord's Divine Human against those who were steeped in falsities and engaged in molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'Moses told' as perception from God's truth, 'telling' meaning perceiving, see 3209, and 'Moses' representing God's truth, 6752, 6771, 7010, 7014, 7382; from the representation of 'the father-in-law of Moses' as Divine Good, the source of the good joined to God's truth, dealt with in 8643, 8644; from the meaning of 'all that Jehovah had done' as the things which had been done for the children of Israel in Egypt and after that in the wilderness - and since these things imply in the internal sense the things that were done for those belonging to the Lord's spiritual Church who were held back on the lower earth until the Lord glorified the Human within Himself, the words here mean perception regarding the power of the Lord's Divine Human (that those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual Church were held back on the lower earth, and were saved by the power of the Lord's Divine Human, see 6854, 7035, 7091 (end), 7828, 8018, 8054, 8099, 8321); and from the representation of 'Pharaoh and the Egyptians' as those who were steeped in falsities and engaged in molestation, dealt with in 7097, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228, 7317.
