Bible Comments

(5-7) The preceding idea is now further dwelt on, and Ephraim not merely implicitly, but explicitly (as in Zechariah 9:13-16) included in the promise as one with Judah (Ezekiel 37:16-17; Ezekiel 37:22). For a fulfilment of the promises contained in this passage, see 1Ma. 3:39; 1Ma. 4:7; 1Ma. 4:31; 1Ma. 6:30; 1Ma. 6:35; 1Ma. 9:4; 1Ma. 9:11; 1Ma. 10:73; 1Ma. 10:77; 1Ma. 15:13, &c.

Zechariah 10:5-7

5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the ridersc on horses shall be confounded.

6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.

7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
