Ezekiel 36:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For years past since your captivity wild devouring beasts ranged up and down, but now, instead of such, men shall walk up and down in the mountains of Israel; I will take away the beasts from off you, and bring men upon you. My people Israel; a people that are mine by covenant, whom I will own, my Israel. They shall possess thee; Edom boasted he would possess you, O mountains; not Edom, or heathens, but your own ancient dwellers shall possess you, even Abraham's seed. Their inheritance, for perpetuity, as inheritances are. Thou, O land of Canaan. Bereave them; consume and destroy thine inhabitants.

Ezekiel 36:12

12 Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
