7 και το πρωι θελετε ιδει την δοξαν του Κυριου, διοτι ηκουσε τους γογγυσμους σας εναντιον του Κυριου· επειδη ημεις τι ειμεθα, ωστε να γογγυζητε καθ' ημων;

8526. 'To be kept for your generations' means which those belonging to the spiritual Church possess. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as aspects of faith and charity, dealt with in 613, 2020, 2584, 6239, so that in the more limited sense those who belong to the spiritual Church are meant. For they are the ones who are governed by faith and charity and the ones who are represented by the children of Israel, whose 'generations' are referred to here. 'To be kept for them' means to preserve the memory of it.
