Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west - (Deuteronomy 30:3.)
Seed - descendants scattered in all lands. Vitringa understands it of the spiritual "seed" of the Church produced by mystical regeneration; because the expression is, "bring," not 'bring back.' This sense is perhaps included, but not to the exclusion of the literal Israel's restoration (Jeremiah 30:10-11; Amos 9:9; Zechariah 2:6-13).
