7331. 'Before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants' means to the discernment of all those who were molesting. This is clear from the meaning of 'the eyes' as discernment, dealt with in 4087, 4379; and from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who molest by means of falsities, dealt with previously. All those are meant when it says 'before the eyes of Pharaoh and before the eyes of his servants'.
