6151. Wherefore they sold not their ground. That this signifies that for this reason they had no need to renounce and submit them, is evident from the signification of "selling," as being to renounce (of which above, n. 6143), thus to submit, for that which is renounced is submitted to another; and from the signification of the "ground," that is, of the priests of Egypt, as being the capacity to receive good in the natural (of which also above, n. 6148). That for this reason they had no need, namely, to renounce and submit them, is signified by the expression, "Wherefore not."
