7670. 'And he drove them out from Pharaoh's face' means that the will of the molesters was totally opposed to God's truth. This is clear from the representation of Moses and Aaron, the ones who were 'driven out', as God's truth, dealt with above in 7677; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who engage in molestation, also dealt with above, in 7637; from the meaning of 'face' as the interiors in respect of the affections there, dealt with in 7666, and so the will, for affections belong to the will but thoughts to the understanding. The total opposition of the will is meant by 'he drove them out from his face'; for anything contrary to the will, that is, to the affections belonging to the will, is driven out.

1996. 'I will make My covenant between Me and you' means the union of the Internal Man, which was Jehovah, with the Interior Man. This is clear from the meaning of 'a covenant' as a joining together, for as often as a covenant between Jehovah and man is mentioned in the Word, nothing else is meant in the internal sense by a covenant than the Lord's being joined to man. The covenants made so many times between Jehovah and the descendants of Jacob had no other representation. As this point has been confirmed in Volume One, in 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, it would be superfluous to do so again here. The Lord's Internal Man was Jehovah because He was conceived from Him, while the Interior Man is represented here by Abram. Consequently 'the covenant between Me and you' means the union of the Internal Man, or Jehovah, with the Interior Man, and so with the Lord's Human Essence.
