Bible Commentary

Ezekiel 34:26

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Round about my hill. Ezekiel's thoughts, like those of Micah 4:1 and Isaiah 2:2, cluster round the hill of Zion, the mountain of Jehovah, as the center of the restored Israel. In that land, as the prophet saw it here, and still more in the closing vision of his book (Ezekiel 47:12), there were, outwardly as well as spiritually, to be showers of blessing (the phrase is peculiar to Ezekiel), and the land should yield its fruits.

Ezekiel 34:27, Ezekiel 34:28

When I have broken the bands of their yoke. The underlying meaning of the figurative language of Ezekiel 34:25 is now utterly explained. Israel is to be delivered from its Chaldean and other oppressors. The "yoke shall be broken." They shall no more be a prey to the heathen. None shall make them afraid.
