Ezekiel 36:12 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you - O mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 36:8).

And they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance - changed from the plural "you" to the singular: O hill of Zion, singled out from the other mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 34:26).

Thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men-thou shalt no more provoke God to bereave them of children (so the ellipsis ought to be supplied, as Ezekiel probably alludes to Jeremiah 15:7, "I will bereave them of children").
