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.

10493. 'And Moses said, Fill your hand today to Jehovah' means the transmission and the reception of Divine Truth in the heavens. This is clear from the meaning of 'filling the hand to Jehovah' as a representative sign of the Lord's Divine Power in the heavens which comes through Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Good, and the transmission and the reception of that Truth there, dealt with in 10076, at this point the transmission of Divine Truth to the heavens by means of representatives, which consisted in the external forms of worship among that nation after their internal had been closed.

Through the external forms of worship which were representative of heavenly realities, and which existed among that nation after their internal had been closed, there was by the Lord's Divine Power contact with heaven, see 4311, 4444, 6304, 8588, 8788, 8806.
