1611. Verse 17. Arise, walk through the land, in the length of it, and in the breadth of it; for unto thee will I give it. “Arise, walk through the land,” signifies that He should survey the heavenly kingdom; “in the length of it, and in the breadth of it,” signifies its celestial and its spiritual: “for unto thee will I give it,” signifies that it was to be His.
