The “goods” that people have in the Bible -- their possessions -- represent spiritual possessions, which are desires to be good and knowledge that helps us actually do it. In the contrary sense they represent the lust for evil and the false ideas that support and justify those lusts. When the Lord instructed people to give away or sell all they had, the meaning has to do with us setting aside those evils and falsities that are natural to us so He can replace them with truth and desires for good.

6017. 'And the acquisitions they had made in the land of Canaan' means truths acquired from other truths which the Church already possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'the acquisitions' as truth that has been acquired, dealt with in 4105, and also good that has been acquired, 4391, 4487; and from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan' as the Church, dealt with in 3686, 3705, 4447, 4517, 5136. It follows that the acquisition was made from truths which the Church already possessed, for the reason that when truths are stimulated by good to multiply themselves, they multiply from truths that are already present.
