13<\/strong>. Read peoples<\/strong> as usual.<\/p>\n Verse 13<\/span>. I will – feed them upon the mountains<\/B><\/I>] When I bring back the people from their captivity, I will raise up to them a holy and diligent priesthood, who shall in all places give them sound instruction. But this, and some of the following promises, belong to the Christian Church<\/I>, as we shall find below.<\/P> <\/p>\n When Cyruss proclamation came forth that the Jews might return, this prophecy was literally fulfilled, God did incline the minds of the Jews to retire from the people amidst whom they had dwelt seventy years: see Ezr 1:5<\/span>,6<\/span>; 7:13<\/span>. <\/P> Gather them; <\/B>assemble them together; so they did in a place appointed without the country, where they were, (as appears, Ezr 8:15<\/span>) in their assembling at Ahava or Diava, near where it falls into Euphrates, in the country Adiabene, which was from the more inward recesses of the Babylonian kingdom onwards of their journey to Jerusalem. <\/P> Will bring them; <\/B>lead, conduct, and as a shepherd go before them, till I have put them into possession again of their own land. <\/P> Their own land; <\/B>Canaan, their own by grant from the crown of heaven, anciently possessed by their fathers, and out of which violence cast them. <\/P> Feed them; <\/B>God will provide, maintain, and nourish them. The mountains of Israel<\/I>; places proper for sheep, where now they shall once more be kept. <\/P> The rivers; <\/B>water-brooks, as Psa 42:1<\/span>; which run down from the spring-heads in the sides and tops of the mountains, with some impetuousness and noise; or if greater rivers, they are those that run by the foot of the mountains, on which these sheep shall feed. <\/P> The inhabited places:<\/B> this may explain the former. On such hills by rivers the returned captives would first settle their habitations, and here these sheep would be safest; thus literally: spiritually, it refers to the gathering the elect by the gospel out of the world, &c. <\/P> <\/p>\n 13. And I will bring them out fromthe people,<\/B> c. (Eze 28:25<\/span>Eze 36:24<\/span>; Eze 37:21<\/span>;Eze 37:22<\/span>; Isa 65:9<\/span>;Isa 65:10<\/span>; Jer 23:3<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land<\/strong>,…. Which was in part fulfilled when the Jews were delivered from the Babylonish captivity; and which may well be ascribed to the Lord, since it was he that stirred up Cyrus, king of Persia, to proclaim their liberty; and which raised the spirit of the people to go up upon it, and build the temple in Jerusalem, Ezr 1:1<\/span>, though it will have a more full accomplishment in the latter day, when these people shall be gathered out of all countries where they are dispersed, and return to their own land, and embrace the true Messiah, and be all saved; of which there was a pledge and presage in the apostles’ time, on the day of Pentecost; when some out of all nations were collected together at Jerusalem, and heard the wonderful things of God in their own language, and were converted; and afterwards, wherever the Gospel came in the Gentile world, it was first preached to the Jews, and was the power of God to salvation first to them; by which means the sheep of Christ, the elect of God among them, in each of the parts of the world, were gathered in: but this need not be confined to the Jews only; since the Lord had other sheep beside them, even among the Gentiles, in all parts of the world; whom he searches for, and effectually calls by his grace, and separates them from the rest of the world, and brings them into his churches, and among his people:<\/p>\n and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers<\/strong>: not upon the barren mountains of Sinai and Horeb, or with the works of the law; for there is no righteousness, life, and salvation by them, and so no peace and comfort, or food for faith; but upon the mountains of Israel, the churches of Christ, comparable to mountains for their height, visibility, immovableness, and for their pasturage: here the great Shepherd, the Lamb Christ Jesus, is, even on Mount Zion; here his under shepherds are, who feed the flock with knowledge and understanding; here the word of God is preached, the wholesome words of our Lord Jesus, by which souls are nourished up to everlasting life; in these mountains the feast of fat things is made; here the green pastures are, the sheep are made to lie down in; and here the lilies grow, among whom Christ feeds; and by these mountains run the “rivers” of everlasting love and covenant grace, the streams of Gospel doctrines, and the waters of Gospel ordinances, to the great refreshment of the saints; here the Lord feeds his people:<\/p>\n and in all the inhabited places of the country<\/strong>; in the private dwellings of the saints, as well as in public assemblies.<\/p>\n (13) Bring them to their own land.<\/strong>It is not to be forgotten that this is a part of the same figurative language with the cloudy and dark day of the preceding verse, and that they must be explained in the same way. Gods people have wandered in the gloom, and they shall be gathered back to Him again.<\/p>\n Eze 34:13<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>I will bring them out<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> “I will cause them to return from their captivity.” In all that follows we may observe two senses; one which respects the Christian church, congregated by the Lord Jesus Christ from all quarters of the world; and the other, which respects the restoration of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity. It is certain, that we cannot understand in the letter all this which is here predicted concerning the flock of the Lord, solely of the synagogue. The following verses evidently point out the office of the Messiah; and, we doubt not, have also respect to the final restoration of the Jews. See Calmet, and the note on Eze 34:23<\/span>. <\/p>\n Eze 34:13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.<\/p>\n Ver. 13. And I will bring them out from the people.<\/strong> ] This they could very hardly believe, therefore he assureth them of it again and again. God will do the like for all his elect, seem it never so impossible. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And fled them upon the mountains of Israel.<\/strong> ] Which are very high mountains; but the Church, God’s hill, is higher. Isa 2:2 See Trapp on “<\/em> Isa 2:2 “<\/em> <\/p>\n people = nations. <\/p>\n land = soil. <\/p>\n rivers = ravines. Hebrew. aphikim. See note on “channels”, 2Sa 22:16.<\/p>\n I will bring: Eze 11:17, Eze 20:41, Eze 28:25, Eze 28:26, Eze 36:24, Eze 37:21, Eze 37:22, Eze 38:8, Eze 39:27, Psa 106:47, Isa 11:11-16, Isa 65:9, Isa 65:10, Isa 66:19, Isa 66:20, Jer 23:3, Jer 23:4, Jer 23:8, Jer 30:3, Jer 30:18, Jer 31:8, Jer 32:37, Amo 9:14, Zep 3:19, Zep 3:20 <\/p>\n and feed: Eze 34:18-25, Mic 7:14, Mic 7:15 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Deu 30:3 – gather thee 1Ch 17:9 – I will Psa 23:2 – maketh Psa 72:3 – mountains Isa 30:25 – upon every high Isa 49:9 – They shall feed Jer 12:14 – and pluck Jer 50:19 – bring Eze 20:42 – when I Eze 39:25 – Now will Joe 3:7 – I will Oba 1:20 – the captivity of this Mic 4:6 – will I Zep 3:13 – they Zep 3:18 – gather<\/p>\n Eze 34:13. The terms of this verse are literal, the people and countries being those mentioned in the preceding verse. Own land means Palestine from which they had been exiled all the years of the great captivity. The geographical terms, mountains, rivers and inhabited places were parts of Palestine, and the Jews were to be restored to them that they might again enjoy them.<\/p>\n He would lead them out from among the peoples where they had gone and bring them back to their own land (cf. Eze 34:4-6). He would nourish them on the mountains, beside the streams, and in the best (inhabited) places of the land (cf. Psa 23:1; John 4; Joh 6:31-35). They would enjoy good pasture and would experience rest in good grazing ground, the richest pasture in the land.<\/p>\n "If the scattering were literal, and no one is foolhardy as to deny this, then the regathering must be equally so." [Note: Feinberg, p. 197.] <\/span><\/p>\n And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 13.
