Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 5903

5903. 'And as lord for all his house' means that everything in the natural was dependent on him. This is clear from the meaning of 'all Pharaoh's house' as everything in the natural. The dependence on him of everything there is meant by the statement that he was established as lord over that house, 'lord' too being used in the Word to refer to good.
