3025. 'In whose midst I am dwelling' means incompatible things in the maternal human that surround. This is clear from the meaning of 'living in the midst of them', that is to say, of the Canaanites, as those things that are round about, or that surround - things incompatible with truth, as is clear from what has been stated just above about the meaning of 'the daughters of the Canaanites'. These are the things which the Lord received by heredity from the maternal side and which He subsequently cast away when He made His Human Divine, as becomes clear from what has been stated and shown already on the same subject in 1414, 1444, 1573, 2159, 2574, 2649.

Turn

  

If we turn ourselves toward the Lord, we can get the full inflowing of His wisdom and love; if we turn away from Him we cast ourselves into cold and shadow -- we turn ourselves toward hell. In the Bible, "turning" generally refers to a change in spiritual state, as people turn themselves toward the Lord or away from the Lord.
