16
εἶπεν δὲ κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν ὄρθρισον τὸ πρωὶ καὶ στῆθι ἐναντίον φαραω καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ἐξελεύσεται ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτόν τάδε λέγει κύριος ἐξαπόστειλον τὸν λαόν μου ἵνα μοι λατρεύσωσιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ
Exodus 8:16
Arcana Coelestia #7436
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.
