Sweep the house

  

To 'sweep the house,' as in Genesis 24:31, signifies preparing and being filled with goods, because all it takes for a person to do this is 'to sweep the house,' that is reject the lusts of evil, and the persuasions of falsity from them. In this way, a person is filled with goods, because good from the Lord continually flows in, but only into 'the house,' or a person clean of things that impede influx, by reflecting, perverting, or suffocating the inflowing good. This is why it was a common phrase among ancient people 'to sweep' or 'purge the house,' and 'to sweep and prepare the way.' 'Sweeping the house' was understood as purging themselves from evils, and so preparing themselves for the good coming in.
