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.

7141. 'And the officers of the children of Israel came' means those in the nearest position to receive things and pass them on. This is clear from the meaning of 'the officers of the children of Israel' as those in the nearest position to receive molestations and pass them on, dealt with just above in 7136.
