9292. 'For in it you came out of Egypt' means deliverance from molestation by falsities. This is clear from the things stated and shown regarding the departure of the children of Israel out of Egypt, in 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228, 7240, 7278, 7317, 8866, 9197. In these places it may be seen that the time spent by the children of Israel in Egypt meant the molestation by those from hell of the spiritual, that is, of those who belonged to the Lord's spiritual Church, and their protection by the Lord, and that their departure from Egypt meant deliverance from that molestation, on account of which the Passover, which is 'the feast of unleavened bread', was established, see 7093 (end), 7867, 7995.

8866. 'Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves' means deliverance by Him from hell. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing out' as deliverance; from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as molestations by those from hell, dealt with in 7240, 7278; and from the meaning of 'the house of slaves' as spiritual captivity, dealt with in 8049. The reason why 'the house of slaves' means spiritual captivity and also hell is that being held captive by those in hell and being led by them is slavery, whereas being led by the Lord is freedom, 892, 905, 2870-2875, 2882, 2884, 2892, 2893, 6205, 8209. The fact that those belonging to the spiritual Church, who are represented by the children of Israel, were delivered from hell by the Lord, through His coming into the world and making Divine the Human within Himself, see 6854, 6914, 7035, 7828, 7932, 8018, 8321.
