2372. And shall he judge indeed? That this signifies, Shall they teach us? is evident from the signification of “judging,” as being to teach. That “righteousness” is predicated of the practice of good, but “judgment” of the instruction of truth, was shown above (n. 2235); hence in the internal sense to “judge” is to instruct or teach. To teach truth is the same as to teach what is good, because all truth looks to good.
