10529. 'And I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite' means the expulsion from there of all evils and falsities. This is clear from the representation of the nations in the land of Canaan as evils and falsities within the Church and worship, dealt with in 9320, and in the places referred to in 9327. But exactly which evil or falsity is meant by each nation, see in the explanations in which those nations are dealt with. The Canaanite is dealt with in 1573, 1574, 4818; the Amorite in 1857, 6306, 6859; the Hittite in 2913, 6858; the Perizzite in 1573, 1574, 6859; and the Hivite and the Jebusite in 6860.
