Arcana Coelestia # 4394
4394. 'Which is in the land of Canaan' means within the Lord's kingdom. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan' as the Lord's kingdom, dealt with in 1413, 1437, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705. When a person in faith and life is governed by interior truths he is within the Lord's kingdom and experiences the state of serenity, at which time his vision of exterior truths is like that of a person looking down from a tall hill onto a boisterous sea.
Say
As with many common verbs, the meaning of “to say” in the Bible is highly dependent on context. Who is speaking? Who is hearing? What is it about? Is it a command, a message, an apology, instruction? All these things enter into the meaning of “say.” In general, though, “saying” has to do with sharing truth at various levels -- from the most exalted power people can have to perceive the Lord's desires directly to the most basic of orders issued to people at their lowest.
