481. Verse 7 And Man lived a hundred and thirty years. And he beget in his own likeness, according to his own image, and called his name Seth.

'A hundred and thirty years' means the period of time prior to the rise of a new Church which, being little different from the Most Ancient Church, is said to have been 'born in his likeness, and according to his image.' 'Likeness' however has regard to faith and 'image' to love. This Church was called Seth.

8147. 'And took his people with him' means together with each and every falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'people' as truths and in the contrary sense as falsities, dealt with in 1259, 1260, 3295, 3581, in this instance falsities arising from evil, which are represented by 'Pharaoh' and 'the Egyptians'. When the phrase 'pharaoh and his servants' is used, or 'Pharaoh and his people', each and every person steeped in those falsities, also each and every falsity, is meant, 7396.
