Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7292

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7292. 'Take your rod and throw it down in front of Pharaoh' means power which is demonstrated. This is clear from the meaning of 'rod' as power, dealt with in 4013, 4015, 4876, 4936, 6947, 7011, 7026; and from the meaning of 'throwing down in front of Pharaoh' as demonstrating, for what is thrown down before people's eyes is being demonstrated.
