10421. 'Whom you caused to come up out of the land of Egypt' means whom, you believed, you had led to the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'causing to come up out of the land of Egypt' as raising from the external level to the internal, thus leading to the Divine. 'Causing to go up' means raising from the external to the internal, and 'Egypt' means the natural or external man from which a person is raised.

'Causing to go up' means raising from the external to the internal, see 3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817.

'Egypt' is the natural or external level, see in the places referred to in 9391.
