Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7289

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7289. 'When Pharaoh says to you' means if they entertain doubt regarding the Divine. This is clear from what comes immediately after - 'If Pharaoh says, Show a wonder' - which plainly implies doubt regarding the Divine. For requiring a wonder means doubting something until it has been proved to the senses.
