7203. 'And I will lead you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians' means that the Lord will release them from the molestations of those steeped in falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'leading out' as releasing; from the meaning of 'the burdens' as molestations by falsities, and conflicts, dealt with in 6757, 7104, 7105; and from the meaning of 'the Egyptians' as those who molest by introducing falsities, dealt with just above in 7199.

7199. 'That the Egyptians make them serve' means with those steeped in falsities who endeavour to bring them under their control. This is clear from the meaning of 'the Egyptians' as those steeped in falsities, dealt with in 6692, 7097, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7141; and from the meaning of 'making them serve' as endeavouring to bring them under their control, dealt with in 6666, 6670, 6671.
