2 Chronicles 30:9

9 for in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto Him.'

2 Chronicles 30:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:9

For if ye turn again unto the Lord
To the fear or worship of the Lord, as the Targum:

your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that
lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land;
who had been carried away by Tiglathpileser, see ( Psalms 106:46 ) ,

for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful;
so he had proclaimed his name, as they must know, ( Exodus 34:6 ) ,

and will not turn away his face from you;
in wrath and anger; or withdraw his Shecaniah from you, as the Targum; his gracious and glorious presence:

if ye return unto him;
his fear and worship, as the same paraphrase.

2 Chronicles 30:9 In-Context

7 and do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, God of their fathers, and He giveth them to desolation, as ye do see.

8 `Now, harden not your neck like your fathers, give a hand to Jehovah, and come in to His sanctuary, that He hath sanctified to the age, and serve Jehovah your God, and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back from you;

9 for in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto Him.'

10 And the runners are passing over from city to city, in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: and they are laughing at them, and mocking at them,

11 only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come in to Jerusalem.
