10673. Verses 24-27 For I will drive out the nations from [before] your face and cause your borders to be enlarged; and no one will covet your land when you go up to see the face of ¹ Jehovah your God three times in the year. You shall not offer ² the blood of My sacrifice with anything made from yeast; and the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover shall not remain through the night until morning. The firstfruits of the first things of your ground you are to bring to the house of Jehovah your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk. And Jehovah said to Moses, Write these words; for in accordance with ³ these words I make a covenant with you and with Israel.

'For I will drive out the nations from [before] your face' means shifting evil and the falsities of evil away. 'And cause your borders to be enlarged' means the multiplication and increase in the range of truth that springs from good. 'And no one will covet your land' means a loathing of such things as belong to the Church on the part of those steeped in evils and the falsities of evil. 'When you go up to see the face of Jehovah your God three times in the year' means when the Lord is present in the truths of faith as well. 'You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with anything made from yeast' means that worship of the Lord arising from the Church's truths must not be mingled together with falsities arising from evil. 'And the sacrifice of the feast of the Passover shall not remain through the night until morning' means the good of worship, which does not originate in the self but comes from the Lord and is always new. 'The firstfruits of the first things of your ground you are to bring to the house of Jehovah your God' means that every truth of good and every good of truth is holy because it comes from the Lord alone. 'You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk' means that the good of innocence belonging to a later state must not be mingled with the truth of innocence belonging to an earlier state. 'And Jehovah said to Moses, Write these words' means instructions regarding the leading truths that are to be remembered and done. 'For in accordance with these words I make a covenant with you and with Israel' means being joined through these truths to those whose worship is outward and inward.
