Ezekiel 34:26-28 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing I will there give remarkable instances of my favour, and of the happiness which flows from it. God's hill is the same with his holy mountain, mentioned Ezekiel 20:40, where see the note. There shall be showers of blessings Blessings in great abundance, and of all sorts, temporal and spiritual, earthly and heavenly. The tree of the field shall yield her fruit There shall be great fertility and plenty in every part of the land. The spiritual blessings of the gospel are often described under the emblems of fruitfulness and abundance. And they shall be safe in their land In no danger of being invaded and enslaved, though their great plenty might be supposed to be a temptation to their neighbours to desire their land. And they shall know that I am the Lord They shall indeed know that I, and I only, am the living and true God, and their God and Saviour; when I have broken the bands of their yoke Those bands by which they had been brought down, and long held under oppression; had been made slaves, and used as such. The same expression is used of the deliverance of Israel out of Egypt, (Leviticus 26:13; Jeremiah 2:20,) their final restoration being represented as the greater deliverance of the two. And none shall make them afraid The experience of my particular care over them, shall inspire them with that confidence in me which shall preserve them from all disquieting fears and anxieties.
