Arcana Coelestia #8646
8646. 'That Jehovah had brought Israel out of Egypt' means that they had been delivered by the Lord from molestations. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing out' as delivering; from the representation of 'Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual kingdom, as immediately above in 8645; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as molestations by falsities, dealt with in 7278. The reason why 'Egypt' means molestations is that 'the Egyptians' and 'Pharaoh' mean those who in the next life used falsities to molest those who belonged to the spiritual Church, 7097, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228, 7317, 8148.
Arcana Coelestia #7228
7228. 'And for Pharaoh king of Egypt' means the warning to be given to those who molest by means of utter falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking to', when it comes by Divine command and is directed to those steeped in falsities, as a warning, as above in 7220; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh', when he is also called 'king of Egypt', as those who molest by means of utter falsities, dealt with above in 7220.
