3662. 'You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan' means provided it was not joined to affections for falsity and evil. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking a wife' as being brought into association with or joined to; from the meaning of 'daughters' as affections, dealt with in 568, 2362, 3024, and from the meaning of 'Canaan' as falsity and evil, dealt with in 1093, 1140, 1141, 1167, 1205, 1444, 1573, 1574, 1868.
