Letters
Land whose statutes the Levitical law forbade Israel from following.
and according to the practices of the land of Canaan, into which I am bringing you, there you shall not do, and in their statutes you shall not walk.
Stromata
The land of Canaan, named in the Levitical ordinance and interpreted symbolically as passions and vices.
and according to the pursuits of the land of Canaan, into which I bring you there, you shall not do;
Whether, then, Egypt and the land of Canaan are a symbol of the world and of deceit, or of passions and vices, from which one must abstain, and what things are to be practised as divine and not worldly, the oracle shows us.
The Rights of War and Peace
The land promised and given to the Israelites, cited regarding the basis of their right to wage war.
And here is the proper place to animadvert slightly upon the mistake of those, who derive the rights of war, possessed by the Israelites, solely from the circumstance of God having given them the land of Canaan and commissioned them to drive out the inhabitants.
