In the context of Ezekiel, God often speaks directly to His people through the prophet, underscoring the importance of the message. The use of "Lord GOD" (Adonai Yahweh) highlights God's sovereignty and covenant relationship with Israel.Now I will restore Jacob from captivity: "Jacob" here represents the nation of Israel, referring to the patriarch whose descendants became the twelve tribes. The promise of restoration from captivity is significant, as it points to the return from Babylonian exile, a pivotal event in Jewish history. This restoration is not just physical but also spiritual, symbolizing a return to God's favor and blessing. It echoes earlier promises found in <a href="/deuteronomy/30-3.htm">Deuteronomy 30:3</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/30-3.htm">Jeremiah 30:3</a>.and will have compassion on the whole house of Israel: God's compassion is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, reflecting His mercy and love for His people despite their rebellion. The "whole house of Israel" indicates inclusivity, suggesting that all tribes, including those of the Northern Kingdom, are recipients of this promise. This compassion is a fulfillment of God's covenantal faithfulness, as seen in passages like <a href="/hosea/2-23.htm">Hosea 2:23</a>.and I will be jealous for My holy name: God's jealousy is a protective zeal for His holiness and reputation. In the biblical context, God's name represents His character and authority. The restoration and compassion shown to Israel serve to vindicate God's name among the nations, countering any perception of weakness or injustice. This theme is consistent with <a href="/ezekiel/36-22.htm">Ezekiel 36:22-23</a>, where God's actions are for the sake of His holy name.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord_god.htm">The Lord GOD</a> The sovereign and covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks through the prophet Ezekiel. 2. <a href="/topical/j/jacob.htm">Jacob</a> Represents the nation of Israel, often used to signify the collective tribes descended from Jacob. 3. <a href="/topical/c/captivity.htm">Captivity</a> Refers to the Babylonian exile, a period of punishment and purification for Israel due to their disobedience. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_house_of_israel.htm">The House of Israel</a> The entire nation of Israel, including all twelve tribes, emphasizing unity and collective identity. 5. <a href="/topical/h/holy_name.htm">Holy Name</a> God's reputation and character, which He is zealous to protect and uphold.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_to_his_promises.htm">God's Faithfulness to His Promises</a> Despite Israel's unfaithfulness, God remains committed to His covenant promises.

It is in substance a recapitulation of God's gracious promise to bring again the captivity of Israel, of which the prophet had just been reminded in ver. 23, and to which accordingly he now in thought goes back. It traces the whole course of the Divine dealings with the nation from the point of the exile onwards. Verse 25. - I will bring again the captivity of Jacob. (For the use of "Jacob" as a designation of the people, see <a href="/ezekiel/28-25.htm">Ezekiel 28:25</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/37-25.htm">Ezekiel 37:25</a>.)

That its fulfillment began with the return from Babylon is not inconsistent with the view that its fulfillment will terminate with the final ingathering of Israel out of the nations by her conversion to Christianity, and her consequent admission to the Church. That its first cause will be "mercy" to the whole house of Israel will not prevent that cause from being at the same time a jealous regard for the Divine holiness (comp. <a href="/ezekiel/36-21.htm">Ezekiel 36:21, 22</a>). <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Therefore לָכֵ֗ן (lā·ḵên) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3651.htm">Strong's 3651: </a> So -- thus this is what כֹּ֤ה (kōh) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3541.htm">Strong's 3541: </a> Like this, thus, here, now the Lord אֲדֹנָ֣י (’ă·ḏō·nāy) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_136.htm">Strong's 136: </a> The Lord GOD יְהוִ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel says: אָמַר֙ (’ā·mar) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say Now עַתָּ֗ה (‘at·tāh) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6258.htm">Strong's 6258: </a> At this time I will restore אָשִׁיב֙ (’ā·šîḇ) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7725.htm">Strong's 7725: </a> To turn back, in, to retreat, again Jacob יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב (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 from captivity שְׁב֣וּת (šə·ḇūṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7622.htm">Strong's 7622: </a> Exile, prisoners, a former state of prosperity and will have compassion וְרִֽחַמְתִּ֖י (wə·ri·ḥam·tî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7355.htm">Strong's 7355: </a> To fondle, to love, to compassionate on the whole כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every house בֵּ֣ית (bêṯ) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house of Israel, יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל (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 and I will be jealous וְקִנֵּאתִ֖י (wə·qin·nê·ṯî) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7065.htm">Strong's 7065: </a> To be, zealous, jealous, envious for My holy קָדְשִֽׁי׃ (qāḏ·šî) Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6944.htm">Strong's 6944: </a> A sacred place, thing, sanctity name. לְשֵׁ֥ם (lə·šêm) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8034.htm">Strong's 8034: </a> A name <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/39-25.htm">Ezekiel 39:25 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/39-25.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 39:25 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Now (Ezek.
