Verse 5. Will bring thee into the land] As this promise refers to a return from a captivity in which they had been scattered among all nations, consequently it is not the Babylonish captivity which is intended; and the repossession of their land must be different from that which was consequent on their return from Chaldea.

And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it,…. That the Jews upon their conversion in the latter day will return to the land of Judea again, and possess it, is the sense of many passages of Scripture; among others, see Jer 30:18; the above Targum is;
“the Word of the Lord will bring thee, c.”
and he will do thee good both in things temporal and spiritual; see
Eze 34:24;
and multiply thee above thy fathers; increase their number more than ever they were in any age; for they shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered, Ho 1:10.

Deu 30:5. He will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers There are in this and several other prophecies concerning the restoration of the Jews, such magnificent descriptions of it as do by no means appear to have been sufficiently fulfilled in any restoration yet past; and therefore are to be accomplished in a more complete one yet to come, after their conversion, in principle and practice, to true Christianity.
