7617. 'And he did not send the children of Israel away' means so that they did not leave. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending away' as leaving, as often before; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those belonging to the spiritual Church, whom they molested, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6862, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223.
