Arcana Coelestia #1196
1196. 'Pathrusim and Casluhim' are nations so called who mean matters of doctrine that are formed into rituals from a similar origin and that exist solely as items of knowledge. This is evident from what has been stated, and from the fact that they follow in that sequence. Regarding the Pathrusim, see Isaiah 11:11-12; Ezekiel 29:13-15; 30:13-14; Jeremiah 44:1, 15.
Ezekiel 29:13-15
13
For thus says the Lord Yahweh: "At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where they were scattered;
14
and I will bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
15
It shall be the base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
