36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his sons, because he has filled after Jehovah*.


Commentarius in hunc versum  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 36. Only those who are in good derived from such truths as they possess, these shall have a clear perception of good, and shall possess permanently all those holy states which they have patiently practised, and all things derived from such principles, because they bring out into the life the truths learned in the mind. [Note. Caleb afterwards dwelt in Hebron (see Numbers 14, 15), which signifies the spiritual Church. (See Arcana Coelestia 2909.)]
