AC 7696 - Pharaoh Says, "I have sinned."

AC 7696

And he said, I have sinned to Jehovah your God,
and to you.

(Exodus 10:16)

That this means confession
that they have not obeyed the Divine and the truth,
is evident from the meaning of "sinning,"
as being to do contrary to Divine order,
and to avert and separate one's self from it,
thus from good and truth,
consequently it also denotes not to obey
the Divine and the truth,
for he who does not obey averts himself.
The Divine is what is meant by "Jehovah your God,"
and the truth by "Moses and Aaron".
