Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 8065

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

8065. 'Because of what Jehovah did for me when I came out of Egypt' means that they were delivered by the Lord from spiritual captivity and from damnation. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming out' as being delivered, and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as spiritual captivity and damnation, both of which meanings are dealt with above in 8049.
