7311. Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying. That this signifies from the Divine of the church to those who were infesting, is evident from the signification of “the Hebrews,” as being the things of the church (see n. 5136, 6675, 6684, 6738); the Divine of the church is “Jehovah the God of the Hebrews,” and “Jehovah God” is the Lord, “Jehovah” as to Divine good, and “God” as to Divine truth; and from the signification of “hath sent me unto thee,” as being to those who infest. That by Pharaoh to whom Jehovah sent are represented those who infest, has often been shown above.

6684. Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women. That this signifies that the memory-knowledges of the church are not like the memory-knowledges opposed to them, is evident from the signification of “the Hebrew women,” as being things of the church (see n. 5136, 5236, 6673, 6675); and from the signification of “the Egyptian women,” as being such things as are opposed to the things of the church, which are memory-knowledges, as is plain from what goes before; also from the signification of “Egypt,” as being memory-knowledges (n. 6638), here memory-knowledges opposed to the true memory-knowledges of the church. (That “women” denote things of the church, see n. 252, 253.)
