And further, that the day of the gathering of the captivity is great, and attended with difficulty; as though He Himself must be there to take hold visibly of the hand of each man, and bring him from his place, as it is said, And ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel (<span class='bible'>Isa. 27:12<\/span>). But it is observed that the same form of the verb is employed in Jeremiah with respect to Moab (<span class='bible'>Jer. 48:47<\/span>).

The Lord will turn thy captivity  That is, will bring back thy captives, as the following words imply. Indeed, captivity is often put for captives, Psa 14:7; and Psa 68:18; Jdg 5:12. This was fulfilled in part when they returned from Babylon, and will be more completely fulfilled when they shall turn from ungodliness, and believe with their heart unto righteousness in Jesus of Nazareth, as the Son of God, and true Messiah; but surely not before; for as they were cast out of their own land for rejecting him, it is not to be supposed that they will be restored to it till they receive him. Nor is there any intimation in any part of Scripture that they shall. Their repentance and reformation must precede their obtaining this mercy: see Rom 11:26. Thus Moses here, When thou shalt return unto the Lord with all thy heart and all thy soul, then the Lord will have compassion upon thee, and gather thee from all the nations, &amp;c.
