7798. 'And he did not send the children of Israel away from his land' means that they did not leave those who belonged 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, dealt with in 6426, 6637, 6861, 6868, 7035, 7062, 7198, 7201, 7215, 7223.
