6950. 'And Moses fled from before it' means a feeling of horror caused by the separated sensory level. This is clear from the meaning of 'fleeing' as a feeling of horror, for a person who feels horror at something flees from it; and from the meaning of a serpent, which is what he 'fled from before', as the separated sensory level, dealt with immediately above in 6949.
