A Chosen Inheritance
Commentators explain that calling God's testimonies a "heritage" means actively choosing them as your most valuable and permanent possession. Like an inheritance of land, God's Word is a source of ultimate security and wealth. Scholars like John Calvin note this means valuing Scripture above all worldly riches, honors, and pleasures, making it the one treasure you would keep if all else were lost.
