6730. 'To wash at the river' means worship involving the use of falsity. This is clear from the meaning of 'washing' as purification from what is understood spiritually by filth, dealt with in 3147, worship consequently being meant since worship takes place for the sake of purification; and from the meaning of 'the river', in this case the river of Egypt, as falsity, dealt with in 6693.

1413. 'To the land which I will cause you to see' means the spiritual and celestial things that were to be brought to view. This is clear from the meaning of 'a land', 662, 1066, and indeed from the meaning here of 'the land of Canaan' which represents the Lord's kingdom, as becomes clear from many places in the Word. For this reason the land of Canaan is called the Holy Land, and also the heavenly Canaan. And since it represented the Lord's kingdom, it also represented and meant the celestial and spiritual things that belong to the Lord's kingdom, and here those that belong to the Lord Himself.
