7670. 'And he drove them out from Pharaoh's face' means that the will of the molesters was totally opposed to God's truth. This is clear from the representation of Moses and Aaron, the ones who were 'driven out', as God's truth, dealt with above in 7677; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who engage in molestation, also dealt with above, in 7637; from the meaning of 'face' as the interiors in respect of the affections there, dealt with in 7666, and so the will, for affections belong to the will but thoughts to the understanding. The total opposition of the will is meant by 'he drove them out from his face'; for anything contrary to the will, that is, to the affections belonging to the will, is driven out.

7666. 'See that evil is on your faces' means that no good resides in what they desire. This is clear from the meaning of 'faces' as the interiors in respect of the affections and resulting thoughts there, dealt with in 358, 1999, 2434, 3527, 3573, 4066, 4796, 4797, 5102, and since 'faces' means affections, it also means desires. Consequently 'that evil is on your faces' means that no good resides in their affections, that is, in what they desire.
