The Hebrew root for "take" is "laqach," which implies a deliberate and purposeful action. In the context of Ezekiel, this reflects God's covenant faithfulness and His active role in the redemption and restoration of His people. Historically, this is a promise of hope to the Israelites who were in exile, emphasizing that their return is not by their own strength but by God's divine intervention.<p><b>from among the nations</b><br />The phrase highlights the dispersion of the Israelites due to their disobedience and the subsequent exile. The Hebrew word for "nations" is "goyim," often used to refer to Gentile nations. This dispersion was a result of God's judgment, but the promise here is of regathering, indicating a reversal of their scattered state. It underscores the theme of God’s sovereignty over all nations and His ability to gather His people from every corner of the earth.<p><b>and gather you out of all the countries</b><br />The word "gather" comes from the Hebrew "qabats," which conveys the idea of collecting or assembling. This reflects God's meticulous care and attention in bringing His people back together. The historical context is the Babylonian exile, but prophetically, it points to a future regathering of Israel. This gathering is not just physical but also spiritual, symbolizing a restoration of relationship with God.<p><b>and bring you back</b><br />The Hebrew root "bo" for "bring" suggests a movement towards a destination. This is a promise of restoration and return to a place of origin. It is a powerful image of God’s redemptive plan, where He not only rescues but also restores His people to their rightful place. This return is both literal, in terms of the land, and metaphorical, in terms of spiritual renewal.<p><b>into your own land</b><br />The phrase "your own land" refers to the land of Israel, which holds significant covenantal importance. The land is a central theme in the Abrahamic covenant, representing God's promise and blessing. Historically, this land was given to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The promise of return to "your own land" is a reaffirmation of God's unchanging promises and His faithfulness to His covenant, offering hope and assurance of His eternal plan for His people.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 24.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">I will take you from among the heathen</span>; or, <span class="accented">nations</span>. The first step in the sanctification of Jehovah's Name. A promise already given (<a href="/ezekiel/11-17.htm">Ezekiel 11:17</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/20-41.htm">Ezekiel 20:41, 42</a>), and afterwards repeated (<a href="/ezekiel/37-21.htm">Ezekiel 37:21</a>). The mention of "all countries" shows the prophet's gaze to have been directed beyond the present or immediate future. The Israel of Ezekiel's time had not been scattered among and could not be gathered from all, countries; yet in the years that have passed since then Ezekiel's language as to Israel's dispersion has been literally fulfilled. Wherefore the inference is reasonable that the reassembling to which Ezekiel refers is an event that has not yet occurred, at least in its fullest measure and degree, but will only then be realized completely and finally when the scattered members of the house of Israel shall have been received into the Christian Church (<a href="/romans/11-25.htm">Romans 11:25, 26</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/36-24.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">For I will take</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלָקַחְתִּ֤י</span> <span class="translit">(wə·lā·qaḥ·tî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
