6755. 'And it happened in those days, when Moses had grown up means while those states lasted, and an increase in factual knowledge holding truths within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'days' as states, dealt with in 27, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, so that 'it happened in those days' is while those states lasted; and from the meaning of 'growing' as an increase, as above in 6749. The fact that it is an increase in factual knowledge holding truths within it is evident from the explanation just above in 6751.
