7695. 'And Pharaoh hastened to call Moses and Aaron' means fear at this time of the truth from God. This is clear from the meaning of 'hastening' as acting out of fear, for all haste is the result of some feeling that has been aroused, in this case a feeling of fear, as is evident from Pharaoh's words 'I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you; plead with Him to remove from me this death only'; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who engage in molestation, dealt with rather often; and from the representation of 'Moses and Aaron' as the truth from God, 'Moses' being inward truth and 'Aaron' outward truth, dealt with in 7089, 7382.

In Genesis 38:14, this signifies truth obscured that pretends to be from good. (Arcana Coelestia 4859) The "high mountains being covered" (Genesis 7:19) signifies that all the good things of charity were extinguished.
