AC 7663 - With our flock and with our herd will we go. (Exodus 10:9)

AC 7663
By the words in this verse, that
"they would go with their boys and their old men,
and with their sons and with their daughters,
and with their flock and with their herd,"

is meant in the internal sense everything that belongs to the church,
both the external and the internal church.

The things of the external church are meant by "boys," and "herd;"
and the things of the internal church by "old men," "daughters," and "flock;"
"daughters," the affections of good;
and "flock," good itself, which are of the internal church....
