Historically, this refers to the Israelites who were exiled due to their disobedience and idolatry. Theologically, it reflects God's sovereignty and His commitment to His covenant with Israel. This act of gathering is reminiscent of the Exodus, where God brought the Israelites out of Egypt. It also foreshadows the ultimate gathering of believers in Christ, as seen in the New Testament (<a href="/john/10-16.htm">John 10:16</a>).gather them from the countries The gathering from various countries highlights the widespread dispersion of the Israelites during the Babylonian exile. This dispersion is known as the Diaspora. The promise of regathering signifies hope and restoration. It also points to the eschatological gathering of God's people from all nations, as prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/11-12.htm">Isaiah 11:12</a> and fulfilled in the church's mission to all nations (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>).and bring them into their own land This promise of return to their own land emphasizes the physical and spiritual restoration of Israel. The land of Israel holds significant covenantal importance, as it was promised to Abraham and his descendants (<a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a>). This return is not just a physical relocation but a spiritual renewal, symbolizing God's faithfulness. It also prefigures the ultimate restoration of creation and the establishment of God's kingdom.I will feed them on the mountains of Israel Feeding on the mountains of Israel symbolizes provision and care. The mountains represent the high places of blessing and security. This imagery is pastoral, reflecting God's role as the Shepherd of His people, a theme further developed in <a href="/ezekiel/34.htm">Ezekiel 34</a>. It points to Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, who provides for His flock (<a href="/john/10-11.htm">John 10:11</a>).in the ravines The mention of ravines indicates God's provision even in the low and difficult places. It suggests that God's care is comprehensive, reaching every part of the land and every aspect of life. This reflects the biblical theme of God's presence in both the highs and lows of life, as seen in <a href="/psalms/23-4.htm">Psalm 23:4</a>.and in all the settlements of the land This phrase underscores the totality of God's provision and restoration. Every settlement, whether large or small, will experience God's blessing. It signifies the complete restoration of the nation and the fulfillment of God's promises. This comprehensive care is a type of the spiritual nourishment provided by Christ to His church, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/4-11.htm">Ephesians 4:11-16</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a> The speaker in this verse, promising to gather His people. 2. <a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a> The people whom God promises to gather and bring back to their land. 3. <a href="/topical/m/mountains_of_israel.htm">Mountains of Israel</a> Symbolic of the homeland where God will bring His people. 4. <a href="/topical/n/nations/countries.htm">Nations/Countries</a> Represents the places where the Israelites have been scattered. 5. <a href="/topical/p/pasture.htm">Pasture</a> Symbolizes provision, care, and restoration by God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a> God is faithful to His promises.

The picture of the pleasant pasture-lands of Judah, almost, as it were, an expansion of <a href="/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a>, of the mountains which are not barren and stony, of the streams that flow calmly in the inhabited places of the country, serves as a parable of that which is to follow on the restoration of Israel. The sheep that had been wandering so long in the wilderness should at last lie down in a fat pasture (ver. 15), and the tender care of the Shepherd should watch with an individualizing pity over each sheep that had been brought back. Every broken limb should be bound up. Every sickness should be treated with its appropriate means of healing. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will bring them out וְהוֹצֵאתִ֣ים (wə·hō·w·ṣê·ṯîm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim from מִן־ (min-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> A part of, from, out of the peoples, הָעַמִּ֗ים (hā·‘am·mîm) Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock gather וְקִבַּצְתִּים֙ (wə·qib·baṣ·tîm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6908.htm">Strong's 6908: </a> To gather, collect them from מִן־ (min-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> A part of, from, out of the countries, הָ֣אֲרָצ֔וֹת (hā·’ă·rā·ṣō·wṯ) Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land and bring וַהֲבִיאֹתִ֖ים (wa·hă·ḇî·’ō·ṯîm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go them into אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to their own land. אַדְמָתָ֑ם (’aḏ·mā·ṯām) Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_127.htm">Strong's 127: </a> Ground, land I will feed וּרְעִיתִים֙ (ū·rə·‘î·ṯîm) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - first person common singular | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7462.htm">Strong's 7462: </a> To tend a, flock, pasture it, in, to graze, to rule, to associate with them on אֶל־ (’el-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_413.htm">Strong's 413: </a> Near, with, among, to the mountains הָרֵ֣י (hā·rê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2022.htm">Strong's 2022: </a> Mountain, hill, hill country 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 in the ravines, בָּאֲפִיקִ֕ים (bā·’ă·p̄î·qîm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_650.htm">Strong's 650: </a> Containing, a tube, a bed, valley of a, stream, a strong thing, a hero and in all וּבְכֹ֖ל (ū·ḇə·ḵōl) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the settlements מוֹשְׁבֵ֥י (mō·wō·šə·ḇê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4186.htm">Strong's 4186: </a> A seat, assembly, dwelling place, dwelling, dwellers of the land. הָאָֽרֶץ׃ (hā·’ā·reṣ) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> Earth, land <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/34-13.htm">Ezekiel 34:13 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/34-13.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 34:13 I will bring them out (Ezek.
