6898. 'To the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite, and the Amorite and the Perizzite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite' means the region of heaven occupied by those steeped in evils and falsities. This is clear from what has been shown above in 6854, 6858. 'The Canaanites and the Hittites' are those steeped in evils that arise from falsities, see 6858; 'the Amorites and the Perizzites' are those steeped in evils and the falsities that arise from them, 6859; and 'the Hivites and the Jebusites' are those steeped in what is idolatrous but has some kind of goodness and truth in it, 6860.
