1199. Verse 15. And Canaan begat Zidon, his firstborn, and Heth. “Canaan,” here as before, signifies external worship in which there is nothing internal. “Zidon” signifies the exterior knowledges of spiritual things; and because they are the first things of such external worship, it is said that Zidon was “the firstborn of Canaan;” “Heth” signifies the exterior knowledges of celestial things.
