The Reader will observe, that the Prophet is here describing the several tribes on the north, according to their portions. I the rather wish to consider the subject spiritually, and therefore cannot but behold what is here said, as being in reference to the glorious state of the Church, in the latter-day dispensation; when temporal possessions will not be the only happiness of the Lord's Israel, but spiritual and eternal. The portion of each will be the portion of all. And this will be not the precious things brought forth by the sun, nor the precious things put forth by the moon; but the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush. And who but Jesus is this; or who can be a portion to live upon, either here or hereafter, but the Lord Our Righteousness? Deuteronomy 33:13.
