24 你不可跪拜他們的,不可事奉他,也不可效法他們的行為,卻要把像盡行拆毀,打碎他們的柱像。

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.
