4394. Which is in the land of Canaan. That this signifies in the Lord’s kingdom, is evident from the signification of the “land of Canaan,” as being the Lord’s kingdom (see n. 1413, 1437, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705). When a man is in interior truths in faith and in life, he is in the Lord’s kingdom, and in a state of tranquillity, and then looks at exterior things as one who looks from a high hill upon a tempestuous sea.
