1498. Verse 20. And Pharaoh commanded the men concerning him; and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. “And Pharaoh commanded the men concerning Him, [and they sent him away],” signifies that memory-knowledges left the Lord; “and his wife,” signifies that they also left the truths that were conjoined with celestial things; “and all that he had,” signifies that they left all things that belonged to celestial truths.
