Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7580. 'And the hail struck in all the land of Egypt' means that that falsity destroyed the things which were in the natural mind. This is clear from the meaning of 'striking' as destroying; from the meaning of 'hail' as falsity arising from evils, 7553; and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind, dealt with in 7569.
