6113. That was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan. That this signifies that was in the natural and in the church, is evident from the signification of the “land of Egypt,” as being the natural where memory-knowledges are (of which above, n. 6111); and from the signification of the “land of Canaan,” as being the church (of which also above, n. 6067). By the church is here meant that which is of the church with man, for man is a church when he is in good and truth, and an assemblage of such men makes the church in general.
