At sinabi ni Moises kay Faraon, Magkaroon ka ng kaluwalhatiang ito sa akin: anong oras isasamo kita, at ang iyong mga lingkod, at ang iyong bayan, upang ang mga palaka ay malipol sa iyo at sa iyong mga bahay, at mangatira na lamang sa ilog?

7397. 'So as the frogs will be eliminated from you, and from your houses' means in order that the reasonings may come to an end. This is clear from the meaning of 'the frogs' as reasonings arising from utter falsities, dealt with in 7351, 7352, 7384; from the meaning of 'eliminating' as coming to an end, for eliminating is used in reference to the frogs, but coming to an end in reference to reasonings; from the representation of 'Pharaoh,' from whom the frogs were to be eliminated, as those steeped in falsities who engage in molestation, dealt with immediately above in 7396; and from the meaning of 'houses' as parts of the natural mind. For 'house' means the natural mind, see 4973, 5023, 7353, and therefore the plural 'houses' means parts of it.
