1199. Verse 15 And Canaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth.

Here, as previously, 'Canaan' means external worship that has nothing internal within it. 'Sidon' means the exterior cognitions of spiritual things, and because such cognitions are the primary things of such external worship Sidon is called Canaan's 'firstborn.' 'Heth' means the exterior cognitions of celestial things.
