1413. 'To the land which I will cause you to see' means the spiritual and celestial things that were to be brought to view. This is clear from the meaning of 'a land', 662, 1066, and indeed from the meaning here of 'the land of Canaan' which represents the Lord's kingdom, as becomes clear from many places in the Word. For this reason the land of Canaan is called the Holy Land, and also the heavenly Canaan. And since it represented the Lord's kingdom, it also represented and meant the celestial and spiritual things that belong to the Lord's kingdom, and here those that belong to the Lord Himself.

9644. 'Under the twenty boards' means which proceeds from the good that comes from the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'twenty' as that which is complete, thus in every respect and totally, dealt with above in 9641; and from the meaning of 'the boards of the dwelling-place' as the good lending support to heaven, dealt with in 9634. This good is the good of merit, and so belongs to the Lord's Divine Human, see 7850, 9127; and it is the one and only good that reigns in heaven, 9486. The fact that the truth meant by 'the bases' proceeds from this good is meant by the presence of the bases 'under the boards'.
