7 καὶ ἔδωκεν τὴν πορνείαν αὐτῆς ἐπ' αὐτούς ἐπίλεκτοι υἱοὶ ἀσσυρίων πάντες καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας οὓς ἐπέθετο ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασιν αὐτῆς ἐμιαίνετο

6535. 'And it was an extremely large army' means truths and forms of good banded together. This is clear from the meaning of 'an army' as truths and forms of good, dealt with in 7448; and since here the truths and forms of good - meant not only by 'the elders of Pharaoh's house' and 'the elders of the land of Egypt' but also 'Joseph's house' and 'his brothers', as well as by 'his father's house' - were all together, 'an extremely large army' here means truths and forms of good banded together.
