6739. 'And his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter' means the Church's truth alongside the kind of religion there. This is clear from the meaning of 'sister' as the Church's truth, dealt with above in 6727; and from the meaning of 'Pharaoh's daughter' as a kind of religion, also dealt with above, in 6729. Alongside is meant because the child's sister was present when Pharaoh's daughter opened the box.
