19 Only, if the land of your possession be unclean, cross· ye ·over to the land of the possession of Jehovah, which the Habitation of Jehovah inhabits, and take·​·possession in our midst; and revolt not against Jehovah, and revolt not against us, in your building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

Land of Canaan, or the holy land

  

'The land of Canaan' in the Word, denotes love, and consequently, the will of the celestial self.

In Genesis 12:5, the land of Canaan signifies the celestial things of love that make up the Lord's kingdom. (Arcana Coelestia 1437)

In Genesis 44:8, it signifies various things: The Lord's kingdom, the church, the man of the church, the celestial of the church, or its good; also its spiritual, or the truth and good as his own. (Arcana Coelestia 5757)
