14 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Μωυσην, Εγω ειμαι ο Ων· και ειπεν, Ουτω θελεις ειπει προς τους υιους Ισραηλ· Ο Ων με απεστειλε προς εσας.

6910. 'And strike Egypt with all My wonders' means the means used by Divine power against falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'Egypt' as falsity, often dealt with already; and from the meaning of 'wonders' as the means used by Divine power through which those steeped in falsities who engage in molestation are subdued. The fact that 'wonders' are the means used by Divine power through which those steeped in falsities are subdued is clear from the wonders or miracles performed in Egypt, which in the end drove the Egyptians to send the children of Israel away. Each wonder or miracle there means a means used by Divine power.
