Arcana Coelestia (Elliott) n. 7707

7707. 'And he did not send the children of Israel away' means that they did not leave those belonging to the spiritual Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'sending away' as leaving; and from the representation of 'the children of Israel' as those who belong to the spiritual Church, as in 7474, 7515, 7617.
