13
εἶπεν δὲ μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν λαόν θαρσεῖτε στῆτε καὶ ὁρᾶτε τὴν σωτηρίαν τὴν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἣν ποιήσει ἡμῖν σήμερον ὃν τρόπον γὰρ ἑωράκατε τοὺς αἰγυπτίους σήμερον οὐ προσθήσεσθε ἔτι ἰδεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον
Exodus 14:13
Arcana Coelestia # 8154
8154. 'And the Egyptians pursued them' means action resulting from the attempt of those steeped in falsities arising from evil to bring them under their control. This is clear from the meaning of 'pursuing' as the attempt to bring under their control, as above in 8152, at this point action resulting from the attempt, since the word is being used a second time; and from the meaning of 'the Egyptians' as those steeped in falsities arising from evil, often dealt with already.
