7565. 'Left his servants and his livestock in the field' means that they were not stored away and placed in safe keeping. This is clear from the meaning of 'being left in the field' as being destroyed by the falsities arising from evils that are meant by 'the hail from which they would die', 7559-7561. These are things that were not stored away and placed in safe keeping, being the truths and forms of good which are not the Lord's, spoken of immediately above in 7564. 'Servants' means the things in the natural mind, 7562, 7563, and 'livestock' the truths and forms of good which, since they are not the Lord's, cannot be stored away interiorly.

7562. 'And he that feared the word of Jehovah among the servants of Pharaoh' means those things in the natural mind which were the Lord's. This is clear from the meaning of 'he that feared the word of Jehovah' as the things which are the Lord's, for in the internal sense 'one who fears' is not used to mean a person who fears but a certain thing or reality (in heaven an idea involving a person is changed into an idea involving some reality, see 5225, 5287, 5434, and therefore 'he that feared the word of Jehovah' means the goodness and truth that are from the Lord); and from the meaning of 'the servants of Pharaoh' as things that belong to the natural mind. 'Pharaoh' is the natural in general, see 5160, 5799, and 'his servants' are therefore the things that are in the natural, or what amounts to the same, things that are in the natural mind, since the things in the natural which a person uses in thinking and reaching conclusions constitute his mind. Which things in the natural mind are the Lord's and which are not the Lord's, see below in 7564.
