6163. And we will be Pharaoh's servants. That this signifies that they renounce their own, and submit to the natural which is under the auspices of the internal, is evident from the signification of "servants," as being to be devoid of freedom from their own (see n. 5760, 5763), thus to renounce their own; and from the signification of "being Pharaoh's," as being submitted to the natural which is under the auspices of the internal (n. 6145).
