3369. 'Sojourn in this land' means instruction. This is clear from the meaning of 'sojourning' as receiving instruction, 1 dealt with in 1463, 2025, and from the meaning here of 'land' as rational concepts which, when enlightened from the Divine, are appearances of truth, dealt with immediately above in 3368, so that 'sojourning in this land' means instruction in those things.

Footnotes:

1. The Latin means instructing, but see 1463, 2025.
