7436. To stand before Pharaoh' means the appearance of the Divine to those immersed in evils. This is clear from the meaning of 'standing before someone' as presence, at this point the appearance of the Divine since Moses who was told 'to stand' is the truth from God through which the Divine makes His appearance; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those steeped in falsities, at this point those immersed in evils, as above in 7429.

3458. 'And in the morning they rose up early' means a state of enlightenment. This is clear from the meaning of 'the morning' and 'rising up early' as a state of enlightenment. For by 'the morning' and 'the dawn' in the highest sense is meant the Lord, and in the internal sense the celestial element of His love, and also from this the state of peace, see 2333, 2405, 2540, 2780. And 'rising up' means in the internal sense a raising up, 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171. From these meanings it is evident that 'in the morning he rose up early' means a state of enlightenment.
