This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
(Zec 13:9; Zec 14:2).
purge out - or, “separate.” Hebrew, barothi, forming a designed alliteration with “berith,” the covenant; not a promise of grace, but a threat against those Jews who thought they could in exile escape the observation and “rule” of God.
land of Israel - Though brought out of the country of their sojourn or exile (Babylon formerly, and the various lands of their exile hereafter) into the literal land of Palestine, even it shall be to them an exile state, “they shall not enter into the land of Israel,” that is, the spiritual state of restored favor of God to His covenant people, which shall only be given to the remnant to be saved (Zec 13:8, Zec 13:9).
