7569. 'And there will be hail in all the land of Egypt' means destructive falsity in the natural mind. This is clear from the meaning of 'hail' as destructive falsity arising from evils - destructive of all the goodness and truth of the Church, dealt with in 7553; and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind, dealt with in 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5301.
