7228. 'And for Pharaoh king of Egypt' means the warning to be given to those who molest by means of utter falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking to', when it comes by Divine command and is directed to those steeped in falsities, as a warning, as above in 7220; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh', when he is also called 'king of Egypt', as those who molest by means of utter falsities, dealt with above in 7220.

7220. 'Come, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt' means a warning to those who molest by means of utter falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'speaking to', since it is to be done by Divine command, as a warning; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who molest by means of falsities, dealt with in 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142. And since they were utter falsities, the expression 'Pharaoh king of Egypt' is used, for in the genuine sense 'king' means truth, and in the contrary sense falsity, 2015, 2069.
