9292. 'For in it you came out of Egypt' means deliverance from molestation by falsities. This is clear from the things stated and shown regarding the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt, in 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228, 7240, 7278, 7317, 8866, 9197. In these places it may be seen that the time spent by the children of Israel in Egypt meant the molestation by those from hell of the spiritual, that is, of those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual Church, and their protection by the Lord, and that their departure from Egypt meant deliverance from that molestation, on account of which the Passover, which is 'the feast of unleavened bread', was established, see 7093 (end), 7867, 7995.

7278. 'Out of the land of Egypt' means from molestations. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the place where those steeped in falsities who engage in molestation are, dealt with in 7240, 7274, thus molestations also. For 'the land' means the actual nation; and the nation in the internal sense means that which is associated with the nation, and therefore means molestation in this instance.
