8126. THE INTERNAL SENSE Verses 1-4. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon; over against it shall ye encamp by the sea. And Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut upon them. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them; and I will be glorified in Pharaoh, and in all his army; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so. "And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying," signifies instruction by the Divine by means of Divine truth; "Speak unto the sons of Israel," signifies the influx of truth Divine with those who are of the spiritual church; "that they turn back," signifies that they were not yet prepared; "and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal-zephon," signifies the beginning of a state for undergoing temptations; "over against it shall ye encamp by the sea," signifies that the influx of temptation is thence; "and Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel," signifies the thought of those who are in damnation concerning the state of those who are of the spiritual church; "They are entangled in the land," signifies that they are in confusion in respect to the things of the church; "the wilderness hath shut upon them," signifies that obscurity has taken possession of them; "and I will harden Pharaoh's heart," signifies that they who were in falsities from evil would still be determined; "and he shall follow after them," signifies that they would still endeavor to subjugate them; "and I will be glorified," signifies that they should see a Divine effect from the Divine Human of the Lord in the dissipation of falsity; "in Pharaoh, and in all his army," signifies the immersion in hell of those who were in falsities from evil, and an environment there by falsities as by waters; "and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah," signifies that from this it will be known that the Lord is the only God; "and they did so," signifies obedience.

8126. THE INTERNAL SENSE
Verses 1-4 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and let them turn back and encamp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon; over against it you are to encamp, close to the sea. And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are enmeshed in the land; the wilderness has shut them in. And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them, and I will be glorified in Pharaoh and in all his army; and the Egyptians will know that I am Jehovah. And they did so
'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means instruction received from the Divine through Divine Truth. 'Speak to the children of Israel' means the influx of God's truth among those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And let them turn back' means that they have not yet been prepared. 'And encamp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon' means the beginning of the state for undergoing temptations. 'Over against it you are to encamp, close to the sea' means that the influx of temptation comes from there. 'And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel' means the thought of those lost in damnation regarding the state of those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'They are enmeshed in the land' means that they are in a state of confusion so far as things of the Church are concerned. 'The wilderness has shut them in' means that obscurity has taken hold of them. 'And I will harden Pharaoh's heart' means that the obstinacy of those steeped in falsities arising from evil would still remain. 'And he will pursue them' means that they would go on trying to bring them under their control. 'And I will be glorified' means that they were about to see a Divine feat, accomplished by the Lord's Divine Human, in the dispersion of falsity. 'In Pharaoh and in all his army' means the submersion into hell of those steeped in falsities arising from evil, and their encompassment there by falsities as if by waters. 'And the Egyptians will know that I am Jehovah' means that it will thereby be made known that the Lord is the only God. 'And they did so' means obedience.
