7538. Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh. That this signifies the uplifting by means of presence of the attention of those who infest, is evident from the signification of “rising up early in the morning” (see n. 7435); from the signification, of “standing before” anyone as being presence (n. 7527); and from the representation of Pharaoh, as being those who infest (n. 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7220, 7228).

7228. And unto Pharaoh king of Egypt. That this signifies a warning to those who infest by mere falsities, is evident from the signification of “speaking,” when from Divine command to those who are in falsities, as being a warning (see n. 7220); and from the representation of Pharaoh, when he is also called “king of Egypt,” as being those who infest by mere falsities (of which above, n. 7220).
