'Being sent' means coming forth, (or going forth), in the internal sense, as in John 17:8. In similar manner, it is said of the holy of the spirit, that it was 'sent,' that is, it goes forth from the divine of the Lord, as in John 15:26, 16:5, 7.

So, too, the prophets were called 'the sent,' because the words which they spoke went forth from the holy of the spirit of the Lord.

'To be sent,' as in Genesis 37:13, signifies teaching.

9332. 'And it will drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you' means the flight of falsities arising from evils. This is clear from the meaning of 'driving out' as putting to flight, and so flight itself; and from the meaning of 'the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite' as falsities arising from evils, 'the Hivite' being falsity arising from mild evil, 6860, 'the Canaanite' falsity arising from rather serious evil, 4818, 8054, and 'the Hittite' falsity arising from the most serious evil, 2913, 6858. Regarding the nations in the land of Canaan, that they mean all evils and falsities in their entirety, see the places referred to in 9327.
