7244. 'And Moses said before Jehovah' means the thought regarding the law of God that those steeped in falsities entertained. This is clear from the meaning of 'said' as thought, dealt with in 7094; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the law of God, dealt with in 6723, 6752. The meaning here, the thought regarding the law of God that those steeped in falsities entertained, is evident from the train of thought as it continues into the words that come next. For when the word said is used, and thought is meant by it, it includes that which follows it, at this point that the law of God is impure to those who are steeped in falsities.

7220. 'Come, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt' means a warning to those who molest by means of utter falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking to', since it is to be done by Divine command, as a warning; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who molest by means of falsities, dealt with in 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142. And since they were utter falsities, the expression 'Pharaoh king of Egypt' is used, for in the genuine sense 'king' means truth, and in the contrary sense falsity, 2015, 2069.
