Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

6768. 'As you killed the Egyptian?' means, As you destroyed falsity? This is clear from the meaning of 'killing' as destroying, dealt with immediately above in 6767; and from the meaning of 'the Egyptian' as factual knowledge alienated from truth, which is falsity, dealt with in 6691, 6758, 6761.
