Deuteronomy 30:5

And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy
fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it
That the Jews upon their conversion in the latter day will return to the land of Judea again, and possess it, is the sense of many passages of Scripture; among others, see ( Jeremiah 30:18 ) ( Ezekiel 28:25 Ezekiel 28:26 ) ( Ezekiel 37:21 Ezekiel 37:22 Ezekiel 37:25 ) ( Zechariah 10:10 ) ; the above Targum is;

``the Word of the Lord will bring thee''

and he will do thee good;
both in things temporal and spiritual; see ( Ezekiel 34:24-31 ) ;

and multiply thee above thy fathers;
increase their number more than ever they were in any age; for they shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered, ( Hosea 1:10 Hosea 1:11 ) .
