Zechariah 8:7

8:7 “The Lord who rules over all asserts, ‘I am about to save my people from the lands of the east and the west.

Jeremiah 3:18

3:18 At that time ¹  the nation of Judah and the nation of Israel will be reunited. ²  Together they will come back from a land in the north to the land that I gave to your ancestors as a permanent possession. ” ³ 

Jeremiah 23:6

23:6 Under his rule ⁴  Judah will enjoy safety ⁵ 

and Israel will live in security. ⁶ 

This is the name he will go by:

‘The Lord has provided us with justice.’ ⁷ 

Jeremiah 31:1

31:1 At that time I will be the God of all the clans of Israel ⁸ 

and they will be my people.

I, the Lord, affirm it!” ⁹ 

Jeremiah 31:31

31:31 “Indeed, a time is coming,” says the Lord, ¹⁰  “when I will make a new covenant ¹¹  with the people of Israel and Judah. ¹² 

Ezekiel 39:25

39:25 “Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Now I will restore ¹³  the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have mercy on the entire house of Israel. I will be zealous for my holy name.

Hosea 1:11

1:11 Then the people ¹⁴  of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint for themselves one leader, ¹⁵  and will flourish in the land. ¹⁶  Certainly, ¹⁷  the day of Jezreel will be great!

Romans 11:25-26

11:25 For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, ¹⁸  so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel ¹⁹  until the full number ²⁰  of the Gentiles has come in. 11:26 And so ²¹  all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion;

he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.

[3:18]  ¹ tn Heb “In those days.”

[3:18]  ² tn Heb “the house of Judah will walk together with the house of Israel.”

[3:18]  ³ tn Heb “the land that I gave your [fore]fathers as an inheritance.”

[23:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “In his days [= during the time he rules].”

[23:6]  ⁵ tn Parallelism and context (cf. v. 4) suggest this nuance for the word often translated “be saved.” For this nuance elsewhere see Ps 119:117; Prov 28:18 for the verb (יָשַׁע [yasha’] in the Niphal); and Ps 12:6; Job 5:4, 11 for the related noun (יֶשַׁע, yesha’).

[23:6]  ⁶ sn It should be noted that this brief oracle of deliverance implies the reunification of Israel and Judah under the future Davidic ruler. Jeremiah has already spoken about this reunification earlier in 3:18 and will have more to say about it in 30:3; 31:27, 31. This same ideal was espoused in the prophecies of Hosea (1:10-11 [2:1-2 HT]), Isaiah (11:1-4, 10-12), and Ezekiel (37:15-28) all of which have messianic and eschatological significance.

[23:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “his name will be called ‘The Lord our righteousness’.”

[31:1]  ⁸ sn This verse repeats v. 22 but with specific reference to all the clans of Israel, i.e., to all Israel and Judah. It functions here as a transition to the next section which will deal with the restoration of Israel (31:3-20) and Judah (31:21-25) and their reunification in the land (31:27-29) under a new covenant relation with God (31:31-37). See also the study note on 30:3 for further reference to this reunification in Jeremiah and the other prophets.

[31:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[31:31]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[31:31]  ¹¹ tn Or “a renewed covenant” (also in vv. 22-23).

[31:31]  ¹² tn Heb “the house of Israel and the house of Judah.”

[39:25]  ¹³ tn Heb “cause to return.”

[1:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “sons” (twice in this verse, so NASB); KJV, ASV “children”; NIV, NRSV, TEV “people.”

[1:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “head” (so KJV, NAB, NRSV).

[1:11]  ¹⁶ tn Alternatively, “gain possession of the land” (cf. NRSV) or “rise up from the land” (cf. NIV). This clause may be understood in two ways: (1) Israel will gain ascendancy over the land or conquer the land (e.g., Exod 1:10; cf. NAB “come up from other lands”) or (2) Israel will be “planted” in the land (Hos 2:24-25; cf. NLT “will…plant his people”).

[1:11]  ¹⁷ tn Or “For” (so NASB); NCV “because”; TEV “Yes.”

[11:25]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

[11:25]  ¹⁹ tn Or “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.”

[11:25]  ²⁰ tn Grk “fullness.”

[11:26]  ²¹ tn It is not clear whether the phrase καὶ οὕτως (kai Joutws, “and so”) is to be understood in a modal sense (“and in this way”) or in a temporal sense (“and in the end”). Neither interpretation is conclusive from a grammatical standpoint, and in fact the two may not be mutually exclusive. Some, like H. Hübner, who argue strongly against the temporal reading, nevertheless continue to give the phrase a temporal significance, saying that God will save all Israel in the end (Gottes Ich und Israel [FRLANT], 118).
