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.

10531. 'For I will not go up in your midst' means that nevertheless what is Divine does not reside with the actual nation. This is clear from the meaning of 'not going up in the midst of the people', when this is said by Jehovah, as the fact that what is Divine does not reside with the actual nation, nor therefore does the Church; for if the Church resides with someone, so does that which is Divine. 'Going up to the land' means setting up the Church, as above in 10526, and 'in your midst' means in the inward part of it.
