4365. 'And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord' means an introduction that went favourably. This becomes clear without explanation, for 'finding favour' means that they may find acceptance, and things that find acceptance are introduced, that is, instilled, favourably.

Land of Canaan, or the holy land

  

'The land of Canaan' in the Word, denotes love, and consequently, the will of the celestial self.

In Genesis 12:5, the land of Canaan signifies the celestial things of love that make up the Lord's kingdom. (Arcana Coelestia 1437)

In Genesis 44:8, it signifies various things: The Lord's kingdom, the church, the man of the church, the celestial of the church, or its good; also its spiritual, or the truth and good as his own. (Arcana Coelestia 5757)
