And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.

And - rather, 'And yet.'

I, that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feasts - though Israel deserves to be cast off forever, YET I am still, what I have been from the time of my delivering them out of Egypt, their covenant-God; therefore, "I will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles" - i:e., to keep the feast of tabernacles again, in remembrance of a new deliverance out of bondage. Fulfilled primarily at the return from Babylon (Nehemiah 8:17). Fully and antitypically to be fulfilled at the final restoration from the present dispersion (Zechariah 14:16: cf. Leviticus 23:42-43).
