1095. Verse 26. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. “Blessed be Jehovah the God of Shem” signifies every good for those who worship the Lord from internals; “Shem” is the internal church; “and Canaan shall be his servant” signifies that such as make worship consist solely in externals are among those who may perform vile services to the men of the church.
