Height relates to the desire for good and breadth relates to the knowledge of truth. Following that, something that is “broad” has a great capacity for truth, and a “broad place” or “broad land” is one where a large amount of truth can be learned and understood. This meaning also applies to town squares, which are mentioned several times in the Bible (the angels who visited Lot in Genesis 19 were initially going to stay in Sodom’s town square, for instance). “Square” or “town square” is modernized language; the literal translation is a “broad place” in the town.

6856. 'To a land good and broad' means to heaven where the good of charity and the truth of faith are. This is clear from the meaning of 'land', in this instance the land of Canaan, as the Lord's kingdom, and so heaven, dealt with in 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705, 4447; from the meaning of 'a good land' as the presence of the good of charity there; and from the meaning of 'a broad land' as the presence of the truth of faith there. For the meaning of 'broad' as truth which is the truth of faith, see 3433, 3434, 4482.
