9321. And breaking shalt break in pieces their statues. That this signifies in like manner falsities of worship (that is, these must be removed), is evident from the signification of “breaking in pieces,” when said of the falsities of worship which are signified by “statues,” as being to remove (as above n. 9320); and from the signification of “statues,” as being the falsities of worship (n. 3727, 4580).

7440. For if thou let not My people go. That this signifies if they would not release them, is evident from the signification of “letting go,” as being to release; and from the signification of the “people of Jehovah,” as being those who are of the Lord’s spiritual church (as just above, n. 7439).
