20
ἀναλαβὼν δὲ μωυσῆς τὴν γυναῖκα καὶ τὰ παιδία ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὰ ἐπὶ τὰ ὑποζύγια καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν εἰς αἴγυπτον ἔλαβεν δὲ μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ
Exodus 4:20
Arcana Coelestia # 7064
7064. 'And did the signs before the eyes of the people' means a corroboration suited to the ability to grasp things. This is clear from the meaning of 'the signs' as the corroboration of truths and thus a knowledge of them, dealt with in 6870; and from the meaning of 'the eyes' as the powers of inner sight or the understanding, dealt with in 2701, 3820, 4403-4421, 4523-4534, so that 'before the eyes' means suited to people's understanding or ability to grasp things.
