6861. Verses 9-12 And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me; and also I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. And now, go, and I will send you to Pharaoh; and lead My people the children of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should lead the children of Israel out of Egypt? And He said, Because I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you lead the people out of Egypt you shall worship God beside this mountain.

'And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me' means compassion on those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And also I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them' means because of the endeavour by those steeped in falsities to bring them into subjection. 'And now, go, I will send you to Pharaoh' means the Holy influence going forth from the Lord's Human, by which molesting falsities would be dispelled. 'And lead My people the children of Israel out of Egypt' means the consequent deliverance of those belonging to the spiritual Church from molesting falsities. 'And Moses said to God' means perception received from the Divine, and a state of humility. 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?' means that he had not yet arrived at the kind of state in which it seemed to him that he was able to face molesting falsities and remove them from himself. 'And that I should lead the children of Israel out' means and so deliver those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And He said, Because I will be with you' means that the Divine would be within the Human. 'And this will be the sign to you that I have sent you' means the recognition that the Divine would go forth from Him. 'When you lead the people out of Egypt' means when those who were spiritual had been delivered from molestation by falsities. 'You shall worship God beside this mountain' means a perception and acknowledgement of the Divine springing from love.
