This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt; into which doubtless some hasted by an early flight from the Babylonians before they wasted Canaan, and others fled though forbidden, Jer 43; where also in after-days some Jews sought a repose, and where they wonderfully increased, if Josephus’s story be true, of one hundred and twenty thousand Jews set at liberty by Ptolemy Philadelphus, when he procured the seventy-two elders to translate the Hebrew Bible into Greek. These Egyptian Jews shall be brought back.
And gather them out of Assyria; in which many yet did linger, loth to depart, but when God hisseth for them they shall come.
I will bring them into the land of Gilead, which was the eastern frontier of the land of Canaan, and Lebanon; this was the north frontier of the land, and both fruitful and pleasant: they are here mentioned as part for the whole, as before, Zec_8:7.
And place shall not be found for them; the land should be too narrow for them, so Isa_49:20 54:2,3, which was in part fulfilled according to the historical and literal part, but fully in the spiritual part.
