9342. 'For I will give the inhabitants of the land into your hand' means dominion over evils. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving into the hand' as overcoming and having dominion over; and from the meaning of 'the inhabitants of the land' as the Church's evils. Forms of good are meant by 'inhabitants', 2268, 2451, 2712, 3613, and therefore evils in the contrary sense; for the nations of the land of Canaan meant evils and falsities molesting and destroying the Church's forms of good and its truths, 9327.

10421. 'Whom you caused to come up out of the land of Egypt' means whom, you believed, you had led to the Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'causing to come up out of the land of Egypt' as raising from the external level to the internal, thus leading to the Divine. 'Causing to go up' means raising from the external to the internal, and 'Egypt' means the natural or external man from which a person is raised.

'Causing to go up' means raising from the external to the internal, see 3084, 4539, 4969, 5406, 5817.

'Egypt' is the natural or external level, see in the places referred to in 9391.
