7772. 'Also the man Moses was exceedingly great in the land of Egypt' means respect for God's truth now. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as God's truth, dealt with often; from the meaning of 'exceedingly great as respect, at this point respect as a result of fear since the evil in hell have no respect for the Divine apart from that due to fear (the words 'in the eyes of the servants and in the eyes of the people' show that respect is meant by 'exceedingly great'); and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind, dealt with in 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301, 6147, 6152. From this it is evident that 'the man Moses was exceedingly great in the land of Egypt' means respect for God's truth in the mind - in the mind of the molesting ones.

6147. 'From one end of the border of Egypt to the other end of it' means a spread throughout the whole natural where factual knowledge resides. This is clear from the meaning of 'from one end of the border to the other end of it' as a spread throughout the whole; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge in the natural, often dealt with already, consequently the natural where factual knowledge resides. For the natural is the container, factual knowledge its contents; therefore 'Egypt' means both container and contents, that is, both the natural and factual knowledge. For the same reason 'Pharaoh king of Egypt' means the natural in general, 5160, 5799, and also factual knowledge in general, 6015, while 'the land of Egypt' means the natural mind, 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301.
