7096. 'To send the people away?' means to leave off [molesting them]. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending away' as leaving off, as above in 7092, that is to say, molesting those who belonged to the spiritual Church, who are meant here by 'the people'. For the meaning of 'the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, see 6426.
