5507. Unto the land of Canaan. That this signifies which is of the church, is evident from the signification of the "land of Canaan," as being the church (see n. 3705, 4447). This good of truth which is represented by Jacob is the good of the external church; but that which is represented by Israel is the good of the relatively internal church.
