Like other common verbs, the meaning of "give" in the Bible is affected by context: who is giving what to whom? In general, though, giving relates to the fact that the Lord provides us all with true teachings for our minds and desires for good in our hearts, and for the fact that we need to accept those gifts while acknowledging that they come from the Lord, and not from ourselves. One of the most common and significant uses of "give" in the Bible is the repeated statement that the Lord had given the land of Canaan to the people of Israel. This springs from the fact that Canaan represents heaven, and illustrates that the Lord created us all for heaven and will give us heaven if we will accept the gift.

8068. 'That the law of Jehovah may be in your mouth' means in order that Divine Truth may be in everything coming from there. This is clear from the meaning of 'the law of Jehovah' as Divine Truth, dealt with in 7463; and from the meaning of 'being in the mouth' as in everything coming from there, that is, from the understanding and the will. For 'in the mouth' is in speech, and speech includes both parts of the mind, both the understanding and the will parts, the understanding being within the meaning conveyed by words and descriptions, the will within the affection that gives speech its life.
