7159. 'Who were standing in their way, as they came out from Pharaoh' means a manifestation at a time when falsities did not molest quite so much. This is clear from the meaning of 'standing in the way', when the expression is used in reference to the Divine Law and the teaching that is derived from it, as a manifestation; and from the meaning of 'coming out from Pharaoh' as a time when falsities did not molest quite so much - 'Pharaoh' being falsity that molests, see 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142.
7159a 'And they said to them' means perception. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' in the historical narratives of the Word as perception, dealt with often.
