7345. Verses 25-29 And seven days were fulfilled after Jehovah struck the river.a And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and you shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah, Send My people away, and let them serve Me. And if you refuse to send them away, behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs. And the river will cause the frogs to crawl forth, and they will rise up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and onto your bed, and into the house of your servants, and onto your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls. And onto you, and onto your people, and onto all your servants the frogs will rise up.
'And seven days were fulfilled after Jehovah struck the river' means the end of the state after truths were falsified. 'And Jehovah said to Moses' means new instruction. 'Go to Pharaoh, and you shall say to him' means a command to be addressed to the molesters. 'Thus says Jehovah, Send My people away in order that they may serve Me' means that they should leave those who belong to the Church in order that in freedom they may worship their God. 'And if you refuse to send them away' means should they fail to leave them... 'Behold, I will plague all your borders with frogs' means reasonings arising from utter falsities. 'And the river will cause the frogs to crawl forth' means the reasonings arising from those falsities. 'And they will rise up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber' means that they will fill the mind, all the way through to its more internal parts. 'And onto your bed' means to its inmost parts. 'And into the house of your servants, and of your people' means everything in the natural. 'And into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls' means into delights belonging to evil desires. 'And onto you, and onto your people, and onto all your servants the frogs will rise up' means that the reasonings arising from falsities will be in every single part.
