This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Say; add to the former apology this promise.
The Lord God; the faithful and eternal God, the supreme and sovereign Lord.
I will gather; by my advice and hand they were scattered, and by my hand they shall be gathered.
Assemble you; and to confirm them, it is added in different words, and the promise is repeated, and thus it was punctually performed, Ezr_1:1-4, with Eze_8:15.
I will give you the land of Israel; though your brethren do say you are not to dwell at Jerusalem, nor inherit the land, yet my purpose is otherwise, and I do promise you, that you who followed my counsel, and now are in Babylon, you, or your seed, shall return and inherit Canaan. All this was so worded, that some have thought it no groundless inquiry whether any of those that went with Zedekiah into captivity, or only such as went with Jeconiah, did return out of captivity; and though it is most probable some did, yet of the returners the far greater part were of those that with Jeconiah were gone into captivity.
