Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7187. 'Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh' means a clear perception of what is going to happen to those who molest. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as discernment, dealt with in 2150, 3764, 4567, 4723, 5400, in this case a clear perception since the expression is used in reference to instruction received from the Divine; from the meaning of 'what I will do' as what is going to happen; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who molest by introducing falsities, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683, 7107, 7110, 7116, 7142.
