Ezequiel 34:15 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 34:15

I will feed my flock
This is repeated for the further confirmation of it, that it might be depended upon that the Lord would feed his people in the manner before promised; and it gives a reason why he would do it, because they were his flock; he had a right unto them, a property in them; they were separated and distinguished from others by him, as the church of God is; and which is also purchased by Christ, and gathered out of the world by his Spirit and grace; and therefore he will feed them, or take care that they shall be fed, ( Acts 20:28 ) : and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord;
in the good fold provided for them; where they have both rest and safety, and also plenty of suitable food; (See Gill on Ezekiel 34:14). The Targum is,

``I will govern my people, and will cause them to dwell safely, saith the Lord God;''

The Septuagint and Arabic versions add, "and they shall know that I am the Lord".

Ezequiel 34:15 In-Context

13 Eu as farei sair das outras nações e as reunirei, trazendo-as dos outros povos para a sua própria terra. E as apascentarei nos montes de Israel, nos vales e em todos os povoados do país.

14 Tomarei conta delas numa boa pastagem, e os altos dos montes de Israel serão a terra onde pastarão; ali se alimentarão, num rico pasto nos montes de Israel.

15 Eu mesmo tomarei conta das minhas ovelhas e as farei deitar-se e repousar. Palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR.

16 Procurarei as perdidas e trarei de volta as desviadas. Enfaixarei a que estiver ferida e fortalecerei a fraca, mas a rebelde e forte eu destruirei. Apascentarei o rebanho com justiça.

17 “Quanto a você, meu rebanho, assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Julgarei entre uma ovelha e outra, e entre carneiros e bodes.
