Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7777

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

7777. 'I will go out into the midst of Egypt' means the presence of the Divine everywhere then. This is clear from the meaning of 'going out through the midst', when Jehovah is said to do so, as the presence of the Divine. Everywhere is meant by 'the midst' when this is used in reference to the land, for 'going out through the midst of Egypt' is going out into all of it.
