9 Und es wird geschehen, wenn sie selbst diesen zwei Zeichen nicht glauben und nicht auf deine Stimme hören, so sollst du von dem Wasser des Stromes nehmen und es auf das Trockene gießen; und das Wasser, das du aus dem Strome nehmen wirst, es wird zu Blut werden auf dem Trockenen.

7033. 'And you are to say to Pharaoh' means admonition. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying', when done by Divine command, as admonition; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as falsity molesting the truths of the Church, thus those who are steeped in falsity and engage in molestation, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, 6692.

Arcana Coelestia #6679

6679. 'And did not do as the king of Egypt spoke to them' means that the intention of those under the influence of falsities was not carried out. This is clear from the meaning of 'did not do as he spoke' as the fact that their intention was not carried out, that is, they were unable to destroy the truths meant by 'the boys', even though their intention was to destroy them by whatever method they could, 6676; and from the meaning of 'the king of Egypt' as separated factual knowledge that is opposed to the Church's truth, dealt with in 6651, thus falsity since that factual knowledge is false.
