Genesis 31:18
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)
