Zechariah 10:10 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria - the former the first, the latter among the last of Israel's oppressors (or representing the four great world-kingdoms, of which it was the first): types of the present universal dispersion, Egypt being south, Assyria north-opposite ends of the compass. Maurer conjectures that many Israelites fled to "Egypt" on the invasion of Tiglath-pileser. But Isaiah 11:11, and this passage, rather accord with the view of the future restoration.

And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon. The whole of the Holy Land is described by two of its boundaries, the eastern ("Gilead," beyond Jordan) and the northern ("Lebanon").

And place shall not be found for them - i:e., there shall not be room enough for them, through their numbers (Isaiah 49:20; Isaiah 54:3).
