Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7029. 'Go and return to Egypt' means spiritual life in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'going and returning' as being raised to more internal and more spiritual life, and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as the natural, both of which meanings are dealt with above in 7016.
