8317.“迦南所有的居民都融化”表那些属于教会,却玷污良善,歪曲真理之人的类似感觉。这从“迦南的居民”的含义清楚可知,“迦南的居民”是指那些属于教会的人,也指教会中那些玷污良善、歪曲真理的人。“迦南的居民”之所以表示那些属于教会的人,是因为主的教会自上古时代起就一直在迦南地(参看3686,4447,4454,4516,4517,5136,6516节)。此外,它之所以表示那些玷污良善,歪曲真理的人,是因为迦南地的各个民族,也就是被以色列人赶出去的那些民族,代表邪恶,同样代表信之虚假(参看8054节)。他们有这种代表是因为,他们以前曾是教会的一部分。

8317. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted. That this signifies the like with those who are of the church and have adulterated goods, and falsified truths, is evident from the signification of "the inhabitants of Canaan," as being those who are of the church, and as being those there who have adulterated goods, and falsified truths. That by "the inhabitants of Canaan" are signified those who are of the church, is because the church of the Lord had been in the land of Canaan from the most ancient times (see n. 3686, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136, 6516). Moreover that they are signified who have adulterated goods and falsified truths, is because by the nations there, whom the sons of Israel were to drive out, are represented evils, and likewise falsities, of faith (see n. 8054), and this because these nations had previously been of the church.

8317. 'All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away' means a like feeling on the part of those belonging to the Church who adulterated forms of good and who falsified truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'the inhabitants of Canaan' as those belonging to the Church, also as those in it who adulterated forms of good and falsified truths. The reason why 'the inhabitants of Canaan' means those belonging to the Church is that the Lord's Church had existed in the land of Canaan since most ancient times, see 3686, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136, 6516. The reason why it also means those who adulterated forms of good and falsified truths is that the nations in it which the children of Israel were to drive out represent evils as well as falsities of faith, see 8054. They have this representation because they were formerly part of the Church.

8317. `Colliquefacti omnes habitatores Canaanis': quod significet simile apud illos qui ab Ecclesia et adulteraverunt bona et falsificaverunt vera, constat ex significatione `habitatorum Canaanis' quod sint qui ab Ecclesia, et quod sint qui ibi bona adulteraverunt et vera falsificaverunt; quod per `habitatores Canaanis' significentur qui ab Ecclesia, est quia Ecclesia Domini fuerat in terra Canaane ab antiquissimis temporibus, videatur n. 3686, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136, 6516; {1}quod etiam significentur qui adulteraverunt bona et falsificarunt vera, est quia per gentes ibi quas filii Israelis expulsuri {2}erant, repraesentantur mala et quoque falsa fidei, videatur n. 8054, {3}hoc quia illae prius ab Ecclesia fuerunt. @1 et quod$ @2 essent, significantur$ @3 et quia ibi prius Ecclesia fuit, significantur per illas adulterata bona, et falsificata vera$
