In this 10th verse is a double blessing promised:
1. The designment of a Place for his People.
2. A Plantation of them in that place, from whence is promised a threefold blessing.
1. They shall dwell there like Free-holders, in a place of their own.
2. He promiseth them firm and durable possession; they shall move no more.
