5618. Take of the song of the land in your vessels. That this signifies the choice things of the church in the truths of faith, is evident from the signification of the “song,” as being the choice things (of which in what follows); and from the signification of the “land,” as being the church (of which above, n. 5577); and from the signification of “vessels,” as being the truths of faith (n. 3068, 3079, 3316, 3318). The word “song” is used because this word in the original tongue is derived from singing; hence the “song of the land” signifies productions hailed with songs and praises, consequently in the internal sense choice things.
