In Exodus 4:18, this signifies the continuation of the previous life. (Arcana Coelestia 7014)

In Exodus 13:17, this signifies to fall into falsities. (Arcana Coelestia 8097)

In John 13:3, this signifies to be conceived and to exist from the Divine in Himself, and to be united to Him as soul to body. (Arcana Coelestia 852[9])

8097. 'And may return to Egypt' means a consequent relapse into falsities which are entirely opposed to the truths and forms of the good of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'Egypt' as things opposed to the truths and forms of the good of faith, 6692, 7039, 7097, 7317, 7766, 7926. The fact that returning to that place means relapsing into falsities is self-evident.
