That this signifies provided that it be not conjoined with the affections of falsity and evil, is evident from the signification of “taking a woman,” as being to be associated or conjoined; from the signification of “daughters,” as being affections (n. 568, 2362, 3024); and from the signification of “Canaan,” as being falsity and evil (n. 1093, 1140, 1141, 1167, 1205, 1444, 1573, 1574, 1868).

Thus was the rational made Divine by the Lord in respect to truth as well as in respect to good.
