In biblical context, a "strong hand" often refers to God's deliverance and intervention, as seen in the Exodus narrative (<a href="/exodus/6.htm">Exodus 6:1</a>, <a href="/exodus/13-9.htm">Exodus 13:9</a>). It emphasizes God's ability to act decisively and powerfully on behalf of His people. The imagery of strength is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His capability to fulfill His promises.<p><b>An outstretched arm</b><br>The "outstretched arm" is a metaphor for God's active involvement in the affairs of His people. It suggests readiness and willingness to save and protect. This imagery is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe God's deliverance, as in <a href="/deuteronomy/4-34.htm">Deuteronomy 4:34</a> and <a href="/psalms/136-12.htm">Psalm 136:12</a>. It conveys the idea of God reaching out to rescue His people from their plight, highlighting His compassion and commitment.<p><b>And outpoured wrath</b><br>This phrase indicates God's judgment and righteous anger against sin and disobedience. The concept of divine wrath is consistent throughout the Bible, where God's holiness demands justice (<a href="/romans/1-18.htm">Romans 1:18</a>). In Ezekiel's context, it reflects the consequences of Israel's idolatry and rebellion. However, it also serves as a purifying force, intended to bring about repentance and restoration.<p><b>I will bring you out from the peoples</b><br>This promise of deliverance echoes the Exodus, where God brought the Israelites out of Egypt. It signifies a future regathering of the Jewish people from among the nations where they have been dispersed. This theme of restoration is prevalent in prophetic literature, such as <a href="/isaiah/11-11.htm">Isaiah 11:11-12</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/23-3.htm">Jeremiah 23:3</a>, pointing to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His covenant promises.<p><b>And gather you from the lands</b><br>The gathering from the lands underscores the widespread dispersion of the Israelites due to exile and disobedience. It reflects the historical context of the Babylonian exile and anticipates a future regathering. This gathering is not only physical but also spiritual, as God restores His people to Himself. It aligns with prophecies of restoration found in passages like <a href="/jeremiah/31-10.htm">Jeremiah 31:10</a> and <a href="/ezekiel/36-24.htm">Ezekiel 36:24</a>.<p><b>To which you have been scattered</b><br>The scattering of Israel is a consequence of their covenant unfaithfulness, as warned in <a href="/leviticus/26-33.htm">Leviticus 26:33</a> and <a href="/deuteronomy/28-64.htm">Deuteronomy 28:64</a>. This dispersion serves as both punishment and a means of preserving a remnant. The promise of regathering highlights God's mercy and the hope of redemption. It foreshadows the ultimate gathering of God's people in the eschatological future, as seen in <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, tasked with delivering God's messages to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God who were scattered among the nations due to their disobedience and idolatry.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The period when the Israelites were taken captive and scattered by the Babylonians.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god's_mighty_hand_and_outstretched_arm.htm">God's Mighty Hand and Outstretched Arm</a></b><br>Symbolic of God's power and authority to deliver and redeem His people.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_gathering.htm">The Gathering</a></b><br>The prophetic promise of God to bring His people back from the lands where they have been scattered.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_redemption.htm">God's Sovereignty in Redemption</a></b><br>God is in control and has the power to redeem and restore His people, regardless of their circumstances.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_disobedience.htm">The Consequences of Disobedience</a></b><br>The scattering of the Israelites serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and His commandments.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_god's_promises.htm">Hope in God's Promises</a></b><br>Despite the judgment, God’s promise to gather His people offers hope and assurance of His faithfulness.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_repentance.htm">The Importance of Repentance</a></b><br>The call to return to God is implicit in His promise to gather, highlighting the need for repentance and turning back to Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_wrath_and_mercy.htm">God's Wrath and Mercy</a></b><br>The outpoured wrath signifies God's justice, but His promise to gather shows His mercy and desire for reconciliation.<a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/20.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(34) <span class= "bld">Bring you out from the people.--</span>This and the parallel clause, "gather you out of the countries," cannot refer to the restoration of the people to their land, both because it is an avenging act, "with fury poured out"; and also because its object is said in the next verse to be to bring them into the wilderness. It must therefore refer to the Divine dealings with the people in their dispersion. He will separate them from other people; He will not allow them, as they proposed (<a href="/ezekiel/20-32.htm" title="And that which comes into your mind shall not be at all, that you say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.">Ezekiel 20:32</a>), to "be as the heathen;" but will bring them out and gather them as a distinct race and spiritually separated from them all, to be dealt with as His own peculiar people.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/20.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 34, 35.</span> - The prophet's words seem to look beyond the horizon of any fulfilment as yet seen in history, of which the return of the exiles under Zerubbabel was but the pledge and earnest. He contemplates not a return straight from Babylon to Jerusalem, but a gathering from all the countries in which they had been scattered (<a href="/isaiah/11-11.htm">Isaiah 11:11</a>). When gathered, the whole nation is to be brought into <span class="cmt_word">the wilderness of the peoples,</span> bordered by many nations. This may probably point to the great Syro-Arabian desert lying between Babylon and Palestine. This was to be to them what the wilderness of Sinai had been in the time of the Exodus. There Jehovah would plead with them face to face, in the first instance as an accuser. (For <span class="cmt_word">face to face,</span> as expressing the direct revelation of Jehovah, see <a href="/exodus/33-11.htm">Exodus 33:11</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/5-4.htm">Deuteronomy 5:4</a>; <a href="/deuteronomy/34-10.htm">Deuteronomy 34:10</a>, and elsewhere.) <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/20-34.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">With a strong</span><br /><span class="heb">חֲזָקָה֙</span> <span class="translit">(ḥă·zā·qāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective -
