Ezekiel 34:14 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.

I will feed them in a good pasture - (Psalms 23:2).

And upon the high mountains of Israel - in Ezekiel 17:23; Ezekiel 20:40, the phrase is "the mountain of the height of Israel," in the singular number. The reason of the difference is, there Ezekiel spoke of the central seat of the kingdom, where the people met for the worship of Yahweh, mount Zion; here he speaks of the kingdom of Israel at large, all the parts of which are regarded as possessing a moral elevation.

Ezekiel 34:14

14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
