This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I will sow them: it might seem impossible the Jews should so increase, but to satisfy us herein God promiseth to sow them, so their increase should be like the increase of rich soil that hath much seed cast on it, Jer_31:27 Hos_2:23; that land shall soon be full of men and cattle, when God sows both.
Among the people; the heathen; where dispersed, there they should multiply.
They shall remember me; there they shall think of me, and long for me, and desire to return to Jerusalem, and to my temple.
In far countries; whithersoever they were driven in the farthest parts of the Persian empire.
They shall live with their children; though captives and poor, yet they nor their children shall starve; nay, their children born to them shall live, and grow up with them; this young fry shall fill the earth.
Turn again to me, my temple, their city, and country. That this may also refer somewhat to the conversion of the Jews to the gospel, and to their spreading the gospel unto others for multiplying of the seed of Israel according to the faith, as I doubt not, so neither shall I particularly inquire, since the letter so fairly suits with history and matter of fact, as is evident from the multitudes that were gathered to the passover, when Titus Vespasianus cooped them up in a close siege.
