3683. Thou shalt not take a woman of the daughters of Canaan. That this signifies that he should not be conjoined with the affections of falsity and evil, is evident from the signification of “taking a woman,” as being to be associated and conjoined; and from the signification of the “daughters of Canaan,” as being the affections of falsity and evil (see above, n. 3662).
