7794. 'Pharaoh will not hear you' means disobedience. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing' as obedience, dealt with in 2542, 3869, 4652-4660, 5017, 7216; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who have molested the upright in the next life, at this point these same molesters who are to be damned.
