5338. And passed over into all the land of Egypt. That this signifies when it made everything therein (namely in the natural) subordinate and submissive, is evident from the signification of “all the land of Egypt,” as being both naturals (see n. 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301). From this it follows that “to pass over into all that land” is to make everything in the natural subordinate and submissive.
