Exodus 5:16

Study

       

16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #7126

Studere hoc loco

7126. 'Thus said Pharaoh' means regarding the molestations. This is clear from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the ones who molest those who belong to the spiritual Church, dealt with several times already; so it is that molestation is meant.
