Arcana Coelestia #221
221. 'Breeze, or breath, 1 of the daytime' means a time when the Church still had a residue of perception. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'day' and of 'night'. The most ancient people compared states of the Church to the times of the day and of the night. States when the Church still had light they compared to times of the day; therefore this verse speaks of 'the breath' or breeze of the daytime' as when they still had some residue of perception, from which they knew that they were fallen. The Lord too calls a state in which there is faith 'the daytime' and one in which there is none 'the night', as in John,
I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night is coming when nobody will be able to work. John 9:4.
The consecutive states of man's regeneration for the same reason were called 'days' in Chapter Genesis 1.

7110. 'And Pharaoh gave orders that day' means a strong desire to molest the Church's truths while in that state. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving orders' as a command, and since a command issued by the evil contains a strong desire to do what is evil - for that is the source of any command they issue - 'he gave orders' also means a strong desire; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who molest the Church's truths, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683; and from the meaning of 'day' as state, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 497, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850.
