Zechariah 10:8-10

10:8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have already redeemed them; then they will become as numerous as they were before. 10:9 Though I scatter ¹  them among the nations, they will remember in far-off places – they and their children will sprout forth and return. 10:10 I will bring them back from Egypt and gather them from Assyria. ²  I will bring them to the lands of Gilead and Lebanon, for there will not be enough room for them in their own land.

¹ tn Or “sow” (so KJV, ASV). The imagery is taken from the sowing of seed by hand.

² sn I will bring them back from Egypt…from Assyria. The gathering of God’s people to their land in eschatological times will be like a reenactment of the exodus, but this time they will come from all over the world (cf. Isa 40:3-5; 43:1-7, 14-21; 48:20-22; 51:9-11).
