5418. 'He was selling to all the people of the land' means that this was what effected every making over. This is clear from the meaning of 'selling' as making over to another as his own, dealt with in 5371, 5374; and from the meaning of 'the people of the land' as truths known to the Church, dealt with in 2928, in this case truths in the natural, 5409.

10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.
