8763. 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians' means remembrance of all that happened to the evil who engaged in molestation. This is clear from the meaning of 'you have seen' as remembrance; and from the representation of 'the Egyptians' as the evil who engaged in molestation, dealt with in 7097, 7107, 7110, 7126, 7142, 7317. From all this it is evident that 'you have seen what I did to the Egyptians' means remembrance of all that happened to those who engaged in molestation.
