Zechariah 10:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt; into which doubtless some hasted by an early flight from the Babylonians before they wasted Canaan, and others fled though forbidden, Jer 43; where also in after-days some Jews sought a repose, and where they wonderfully increased, if Josephus's story be true, of one hundred and twenty thousand Jews set at liberty by Ptolemy Philadelphus, when he procured the seventy-two elders to translate the Hebrew Bible into Greek. These Egyptian Jews shall be brought back. And gather them out of Assyria; in which many yet did linger, loth to depart, but when God hisseth for them they shall come. I will bring them into the land of Gilead, which was the eastern frontier of the land of Canaan, and Lebanon; this was the north frontier of the land, and both fruitful and pleasant: they are here mentioned as part for the whole, as before, Malachi 8:7. And place shall not be found for them; the land should be too narrow for them, so Isaiah 49:20, Isaiah 54:2,3, which was in part fulfilled according to the historical and literal part, but fully in the spiritual part.

Zechariah 10:10

10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
