Ezequiel 36:8

8 Mas vós, ó montes de Israel, vós produzireis os vossos ramos, e dareis o vosso fruto para o meu povo de Israel, pois já está prestes a vir.

Ezequiel 36:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:8

But ye, O mountains of Israel
Literally understood, as appears by what follows; for though they could not hear what was said, the proprietors of them could, now in captivity; and the efficacy of the word should be seen on them, producing the following effects: ye shall shoot forth your branches;
that is, the trees that grew upon them should; the vines, and the olive trees, planted on hills and mountains, as was usual, as appears from the mount of Olives, and other places: and yield your fruit to my people of Israel;
not only put forth branches, but bear fruit; and which should be given to the right owners, the people of Israel, and not to the Heathens, who had claimed the ancient mountains for their possession: for they are at hand to come;
the Israelites; either by repentance, as Kimchi; or by a return from the Babylonish captivity, which was about forty or fifty years after this prophecy; and which was but a shadow and figure of their restoration in the latter day, yet to come; which might be said to be at hand, or near, with respect to God, with whom two or three thousand years are as nothing. The Targum is,

``for the day of my redemption is near to come.''

Ezequiel 36:8 In-Context

6 portanto, profetiza sobre a terra de Israel, e dize aos montes e aos outeiros, �s correntes d'água e aos vales: Assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eis que falei no meu zelo e no meu furor, porque levastes sobre vós o opróbrio das nações.

7 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Eu levantei a minha mão, jurando: Certamente as nações que estão ao redor de vós levarão o seu opróbrio sobre si mesmas.

8 Mas vós, ó montes de Israel, vós produzireis os vossos ramos, e dareis o vosso fruto para o meu povo de Israel, pois já está prestes a vir.

9 pois eis que eu estou convosco, e eu me voltarei para vós, e sereis lavrados e semeados;

10 e multiplicarei homens sobre vós, a toda a casa de Israel, a toda ela; e as cidades serão habitadas, e os lugares devastados serão edificados.
