Though Joshua, we are told, had given this place to Caleb before, yet the possession of it was probably only now. See Joshua 14:13. And were not the victories of Jesus the same? Though Jehovah had given him the heathen for his inheritance, as well as to raise up the tribes of Jacob; yet Jesus had to conquer both before that he took possession of either. But under the sure prospect Christ considers them as already obtained. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. All mine, (Christ said to the Father) are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. Psalms 60:7; John 17:10.
