And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your
fathers,
&c.] Not only shall be brought into it, but shall inhabit it,
and continue there, and that in great safety and plenty; and
which will be the more valued and esteemed, and reckoned a great
blessing to enjoy; because this land is the gift of God, and what
he gave to their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, by promise
so long ago, and to their seed; of which promise it appears he is
not unmindful: and ye shall be my people, and I will be
your God;
which is the sum and substance of the covenant of grace; which
will now be renewed, and the blessings of it applied. The Jews
will appear to be the people of God by their effectual calling
and conversion; and God will show himself to be their God, by his
presence with them, his protection of them, and that communion
with himself he will admit them to: see ( Jeremiah
31:1 ) ( 32:38 ) ,
"the loammi" will be taken off, and they will be again declared
to be the covenant people of God, ( Hosea 1:9 Hosea 1:10 ) .
