7675. 'And they will come up over the land of Egypt' means an outpouring into everything there. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming up' as being poured out, for 'the locusts' - meaning falsity present in outermost parts, and stretching from these into the inner parts - are said to 'come up' since the inner parts are one and the same as higher parts (the fact that falsity takes possession of inner parts as well when it takes possession of outer ones, see 7645); and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind, dealt with immediately above in 7674.
