2024. Verse 8 And I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an eternal possession; and I will be their God.

'I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings' means that the Lord acquired to Himself by His own powers all things meant by 'the land of your sojournings', 'I will give to you' meaning that the things which exist in heaven and on earth are His, 'and to your seed after you' meaning that He would give them to those who would have faith in Him. 'All the land of Canaan' means the heavenly kingdom. 'For an eternal possession' means for ever. 'And I will be their God' means that God is one.

'Hills' signify the goods of charity.
