10676. 'And no one will covet your land' means a loathing of such things as belong to the Church on the part of those steeped in evils and the falsities of evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'not coveting' - when used in reference to those steeped in evils and the falsities of evil, when these see and recognize forms of good and the truths of good - as loathing, for between evils and forms of good there is unceasing enmity (evils loathe forms of good and hate them, and forms of good loathe evils and put them to flight or else flee from them); and from the meaning of 'land' as the Church and whatever belongs to the Church, dealt with in the places referred to in 9325.
