“Thus says Yahweh God!
‘I will gather
The house of Israel
From the people
Among whom
They are scattered.
I will manifest
My holiness
In them,
In the sight of the nations.
Then they shall settle
On their own soil
That I gave
To my servant
Jacob.’”
Yahweh said that he was going to gather the house of Israel from all the people, countries, and nations that they had been scattered into. Yahweh was going to manifest his holiness then, so that all the nations would see it. Finally, the Israelites would settle on their own soil, the same land that Yahweh had given to his servant, Jacob.
