7037. 'Send My son away' means that they should refrain from molestation of the truths of the Church. This is clear from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as falsity molesting the truths of the Church, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, 6692; from the meaning of 'send away' as a command that they should refrain; and from the meaning of 'son' as those who are guided and governed by spiritual truth and good and have been adopted, dealt with just above in 7035. From all this it is evident that 'send My son away' means that they should refrain from molestation of those guided by the truths of the Church.
