1413. 'To the land which I will cause you to see' means the spiritual and celestial things that were to be brought to view. This is clear from the meaning of 'a land', 662, 1066, and indeed from the meaning here of 'the land of Canaan' which represents the Lord's kingdom, as becomes clear from many places in the Word. For this reason the land of Canaan is called the Holy Land, and also the heavenly Canaan. And since it represented the Lord's kingdom, it also represented and meant the celestial and spiritual things that belong to the Lord's kingdom, and here those that belong to the Lord Himself.

8130. 'And encamp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon' means the beginning of the state for undergoing temptations. This is clear from the meaning of 'encamping' as the arrangement of truth and good, dealt with in 4236, 8103(end), in this case for undergoing temptations. This is the state that is meant by the places at which they were to encamp. The fact that this state is meant is evident from what followed next: Pharaoh with his army subsequently pitched his camp there, and at the sight of them the children of Israel were subjected to a feeling of great anxiety, by which an initial state of temptations is meant. See what follows at verses 9-12.
