Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 6855

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6855. 'And to cause them to come up out of that land' means that they would be raised up, that is to say, out of the place and the state in which they are molested by falsities. This is clear from the meaning of 'causing to come up' as being raised up; and from the meaning of 'land', in this instance the land of Egypt, as the place and the state in which they are molested by falsities. it has been shown already that 'Egypt' is false factual knowledge that molests; and 'the land of Egypt' too has similar meaning.
