This phrase emphasizes God's promise to gather His people, reflecting His faithfulness to the covenant with the patriarchs. The name "Jacob" refers to the nation of Israel, descended from Jacob, also known as Israel. This gathering is a recurring theme in prophetic literature, symbolizing restoration and unity. It echoes the promises found in <a href="/genesis/28-14.htm">Genesis 28:14</a> and <a href="/isaiah/43-5.htm">Isaiah 43:5-6</a>, where God assures the return of His people from exile. The certainty of the gathering is underscored by the word "surely," indicating divine determination.I will collect the remnant of Israel. The term "remnant" refers to the faithful portion of Israel that survives judgment and exile. This concept is significant throughout the Old Testament, highlighting God's grace and the preservation of a faithful group despite widespread apostasy. The remnant theology is seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/10-20.htm">Isaiah 10:20-22</a> and <a href="/zephaniah/3-12.htm">Zephaniah 3:12-13</a>. It points to God's ongoing plan for redemption and the future hope of restoration. The remnant is often seen as a type of the church, the faithful community preserved by God.I will bring them together like sheep in a pen, The imagery of sheep in a pen suggests protection and care. In ancient Near Eastern culture, sheep were valuable assets, and shepherds were responsible for their safety. This metaphor portrays God as the Good Shepherd, a theme that resonates with <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a> and <a href="/john/10-11.htm">John 10:11</a>, where Jesus identifies Himself as the Good Shepherd. The pen represents a place of security and provision, indicating God's protective oversight of His people.like a flock in the midst of its pasture— This phrase continues the pastoral imagery, emphasizing abundance and sustenance. A pasture is a place where sheep find nourishment, symbolizing spiritual provision and peace. The imagery connects to <a href="/ezekiel/34-14.htm">Ezekiel 34:14-15</a>, where God promises to feed His flock in rich pastures. It also foreshadows the eschatological peace and prosperity promised in the Messianic age, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/65-25.htm">Isaiah 65:25</a>.a noisy throng. The description of a "noisy throng" suggests vitality and life. It indicates a large, vibrant community, contrasting with the previous state of desolation and exile. This noise can be seen as a joyful expression of the gathered community, celebrating their restoration. The imagery aligns with the joyful gatherings described in <a href="/zechariah/8-4.htm">Zechariah 8:4-5</a> and <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9-10</a>, where the redeemed worship God in unity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jacob.htm">Jacob</a> Represents the nation of Israel, the descendants of Jacob, who was later named Israel.

Israel and the remnant shall be gathered together as a goodly flock in the luxuriant pastures of Idumaean Bozrah. The Breaker shall go before them as their Saviour and Deliverer, yea, even Jehovah at their head. The return from captivity symbolised the eventual restoration of the people of God into His everlasting kingdom.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/micah/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 12, 13 - § 8. Promise of restorations and deliverance. Verse 12. - The prophet, without any preface, introduces abruptly a promise of restoration after exile, a type of the triumph of Messiah. Some commentators, indeed, regard this and the following verso as the language of the false prophets; others, as a denunciation of punishment, not a promise of deliverance; others, as a late interpolation. But the style is entirely Micah's (comp. <a href="/micah/4-6.htm">Micah 4:6, 7</a>), the promise is a true one, and such like sudden transitions are common in the prophetical books (comp. e.g. <a href="/isaiah/4-2.htm">Isaiah 4:2-6</a>; <a href="/hosea/1-10.htm">Hosea 1:10</a>; <a href="/hosea/11-9.htm">Hosea 11:9</a>; <a href="/amos/9-11.htm">Amos 9:11</a>); so that we need not resort to the hypothesis that some connecting link has dropped out of the text, or that the clause is misplaced; and we are fully justified in considering the paragraph as inserted here in its right position, and as predictive of the restoration of the Jews after captivity. Micah would seem to imply - I am not, indeed, as one of the false prophets who promise you earthly good without regard to your moral fitness for receiving God's bounty; neither am I one who has no message but of woe and calamity; I, too, predict salvation and happiness for a remnant of you after you have been tried by defeat and exile. I will surely assemble. This presupposes dispersion among the heathen, such as is foretold in <a href="/micah/1-8.htm">Micah 1:8</a>, etc.; Micah 2:4, etc. O Jacob, all of thee. The promise extends to the whole nation, whether called Jacob or Israel, as <a href="/micah/1-5.htm">Micah 1:5</a>; but still only a remnant, i.e. that portion of the nation which should make a good use of adversity, and turn to the Lord with sincere repentance (comp. <a href="/isaiah/10-20.htm">Isaiah 10:20</a>, etc.; <a href="/jeremiah/31-8.htm">Jeremiah 31:8</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/34-11.htm">Ezekiel 34:11</a>, etc.; <a href="/zephaniah/3-12.htm">Zephaniah 3:12</a>,. etc.). Some see in the term "remnant" an allusion to the people that were left in the northern kingdom after the fall of Samaria. As the sheep of Bozrah. There were two or more towns so named - one in Sidon, for which see note on Amos 1:12; and another, hod. Buzrah, on the south border of the Hauran. This is mentioned in <a href="/jeremiah/48-24.htm">Jeremiah 48:24</a>, as one of the cities of Moab, a district celebrated for its flocks (<a href="/2_kings/3-4.htm">2 Kings 3:4</a>); hence "sheep of Bozrah" may have become a proverbial saying. Many commentators take Botsrah as an appellative, meaning "fold," in agreement with the Vulgate, quasi gregem in ovili, and Chaldee, as well as Aquila and Symmachus. The parallelism in the following words seems to favour this view. The LXX. reads differently, rendering, ἐν θλίψει, "in trouble." Thus, too, the Syriac. As the flock in the midst of their fold; rather, as a flock in the midst of its pasture. They shall make great noise, etc. Like a numerous flock bleating in its fold, so shall the returned Israelites be, prosperous and happy, celebrating their salvation with praise and exultation (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/34-31.htm">Ezekiel 34:31</a>). Septuagint, Ἐξαλοῦνται ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, "They shall leap forth from among men," which St. Jerome explains as meaning that the repentant Israelites shall rise above worldly things and aspire to heaven. <a href="/commentaries/micah/2-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will surely אָסֹ֨ף (’ā·sōp̄) Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute <a href="/hebrew/strongs_622.htm">Strong's 622: </a> To gather for, any purpose, to receive, take away, remove gather אֶאֱסֹ֜ף (’e·’ĕ·sōp̄) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_622.htm">Strong's 622: </a> To gather for, any purpose, to receive, take away, remove all of you, כֻּלָּ֗ךְ (kul·lāḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every O Jacob; יַעֲקֹ֣ב (ya·‘ă·qōḇ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3290.htm">Strong's 3290: </a> Jacob -- a son of Isaac, also his desc I will collect קַבֵּ֤ץ (qab·bêṣ) Verb - Piel - Infinitive absolute <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6908.htm">Strong's 6908: </a> To gather, collect the remnant שְׁאֵרִ֣ית (šə·’ê·rîṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7611.htm">Strong's 7611: </a> Rest, residue, remnant, remainder of Israel. יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3478.htm">Strong's 3478: </a> Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc I will bring אֲשִׂימֶ֖נּוּ (’ă·śî·men·nū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7760.htm">Strong's 7760: </a> Put -- to put, place, set them together יַ֥חַד (ya·ḥaḏ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3162.htm">Strong's 3162: </a> A unit, unitedly like sheep כְּצֹ֣אן (kə·ṣōn) Preposition-k | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6629.htm">Strong's 6629: </a> Small cattle, sheep and goats, flock in a pen, בָּצְרָ֑ה (bāṣ·rāh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1223.htm">Strong's 1223: </a> An enclosure, a fold (for sheep) like a flock כְּעֵ֙דֶר֙ (kə·‘ê·ḏer) Preposition-k | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5739.htm">Strong's 5739: </a> An arrangement, muster in the midst בְּת֣וֹךְ (bə·ṯō·wḵ) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8432.htm">Strong's 8432: </a> A bisection, the centre of its pasture— הַדָּֽבְר֔וֹ (had·dā·ḇə·rōw) Article | Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1699.htm">Strong's 1699: </a> A pasture a noisy תְּהִימֶ֖נָה (tə·hî·me·nāh) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1949.htm">Strong's 1949: </a> To make an uproar, agitate greatly throng. מֵאָדָֽם׃ (mê·’ā·ḏām) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_120.htm">Strong's 120: </a> Ruddy, a human being <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/micah/2-12.htm">Micah 2:12 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/micah/2-12.htm">OT Prophets: Micah 2:12 I will surely assemble Jacob all (Mc Mic.
