7142. And cried unto Pharaoh. That this signifies indignation testified before those who were infesting, is evident from the signification of "crying," as here being to attest indignation, namely, because they had been beaten, that is, injured by the injected falsities; and because straw was not given to make brick, that is, that they were receiving and injecting only things fictitious and false; and from the representation of Pharaoh, as being those who infest (see n. 6651, 6679, 6683, 7126).
