21
εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν πορευομένου σου καὶ ἀποστρέφοντος εἰς αἴγυπτον ὅρα πάντα τὰ τέρατα ἃ ἔδωκα ἐν ταῖς χερσίν σου ποιήσεις αὐτὰ ἐναντίον φαραω ἐγὼ δὲ σκληρυνῶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξαποστείλῃ τὸν λαόν
Exodus 4:21
Arcana Coelestia #6975
6975. 'You are to take some of the water of the river' means factual knowledge that has falsities in it. This is clear from the meaning of 'the water of the river' - the river of Egypt, or the Nile - as factual knowledge that has falsity in it. 'Water' means truths, see 2702, 3424, 4976, and in the contrary sense falsities, 790, while 'the river of Egypt' means the falsity within factual knowledge, 6693.
