21
Hüte dich vor ihm und höre auf seine Stimme und reize ihn nicht; (O. sei nicht widerspenstig gegen ihn) denn er wird eure Übertretung nicht vergeben, denn mein Name ist in ihm.
2 Mose 23:21
Arcana Coelestia＃9345
9345. 'They shall not dwell in your land' means that evils must not exist together with the Church's forms of good. This is clear from the meaning of the inhabitants, to whom the words 'they shall not dwell in your land' refer, as evils, dealt with above in 9342; from the meaning of 'dwelling' as living, dealt with in 1293, 3384, 3613, and of 'dwelling with someone' as living or existing together, 4451; and from the meaning of 'land' as the Church in respect of good, thus also the Church's good, dealt with in 9325.
