Zechariah 10:6

Zechariah 10:6

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

House of Joseph; i.e. Israel, or the ten tribes, called Ephraim in the next verse (see note on ). Israel and Judah alike shall share in the contest and the victory, under the protection of God.

I will bring them again to place them. This is one word in Hebrew, which may mean either "I bring them again," or "I make them dwell." The Authorized Version unwarrantably combines both significations.

Septuagint, κατοικιῶ αὐτούς, "I will settle them;" Vulgate, convertam eos. It is better taken here, in contrast with "cast off" in a following clause, in the sense of "I will cause them to dwell," i.

e. in safety and comfort. As though I had not cast them off. The happy restoration shall make thrum forget former troubles and the calamities of their rejection (, ). Will hear them (; ).
