7513. 'And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel had died' means that it was made known to those engaged in molestation. This is clear from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as those who engage in molestation, dealt with above in 7498. The fact that his sending and discovering none whatever of Israel's livestock dead meant that it was made known to them is self-evident; that is to say, it was made known to them that none at all of the forms of good and truth of faith had perished among those who belonged to the spiritual Church.
