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.

6233. 'And I will give [this] land to [your] seed after you as an everlasting possession' means the Lord's kingdom belonging to those who have that goodness and truth within them. This is clear from the meaning of 'land', in this case the land of Canaan, as the Lord's kingdom, dealt with in 1607, 3078, 3481, 3705, 4240, 4447; from the meaning of 'seed' as the truth of faith and the good of charity, dealt with in 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3038, 3310 - 'the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' being those who have forms of good and truths in themselves and are called 'the sons of the kingdom', 3373; and from the meaning of 'an everlasting possession' as having life that is the Lord's, since those who have that life are 'the sons of the kingdom'.
