3369. Sojourn in this land. That this signifies instruction, is evident from the signification of “sojourning,” as being to instruct (n. 1463, 2025); and from the signification in this place of “land,” as being rational things which when enlightened by the Divine are appearances of truth (see just above, n. 3368). Thus “sojourning in this land” signifies instruction in these things.
