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)

5756. 'Behold, the silver which we found in the mouth of our pouches' means when truth freely given. This is clear from the meaning of 'silver' as truth, dealt with in 1551, 2954, 5658; from the meaning of 'we found' as that which has been freely given, since the silver for each man's grain had been returned to them, and so had been freely given, see 5530, 5624; and from the meaning of 'the mouth of their pouches' as the opening of the exterior natural, dealt with in 5497.
