1818. Verse 8 And he said, O Lord Jehovih, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?

'He said, O Lord Jehovih' means a conversing, so to speak, of the Interior Man with the Internal Man. 'By what shall I know that I shall inherit it?' means temptation directed against the Lord's love which wished to be made quite certain of the outcome.
