8401. 'After their coming out of the land of Egypt' means, to their state when they were first delivered from molestations. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming our or 'being brought out' as being delivered, dealt with often; and from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as molestations by those immersed in evil and therefore steeped in falsities, dealt with in 7278.
