6017. 'And the acquisitions they had made in the land of Canaan' means truths acquired from other truths which the Church already possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'the acquisitions' as truth that has been acquired, dealt with in 4105, and also good that has been acquired, 4391, 4487; and from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan' as the Church, dealt with in 3686, 3705, 4447, 4517, 5136. It follows that the acquisition was made from truths which the Church already possessed, for the reason that when truths are stimulated by good to multiply themselves, they multiply from truths that are already present.
