2372. 'And will he surely judge?' means, Will they teach us? This is clear from the meaning of 'judging' as teaching. 'Righteousness' has reference to the practice of good, but 'judgement' to instruction in truth, as shown in 2235. Consequently 'judging' in the internal sense means instructing or teaching. Teaching truth is the same as teaching what is good since all truth looks to good.
