Ezechiël 36:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:12

Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you
And not beasts, as during the captivity; and that without fear of wild beasts, or any enemy; and not as travellers upon them, but as inhabitants of them; who shall walk to and fro upon them, as the owners of them, and doing their proper business there: even my people Israel;
and them only: some read it, "with my people Israel" F9; as if other men, Gentiles called by grace, should dwell with the Jews at this time, particularly at their restoration in the latter day; which may be true, and, which seems to be the sense of the whole sixtieth chapter of Isaiah's prophecy: and they shall possess thee, and thou shall be their inheritance;
that is, thou mountain; a change of number, meaning everyone of the mountains, even the whole land of Canaan, which was given to the Israelites for an inheritance; and was typical of the eternal inheritance in heaven: and thou shall no more henceforth bereave them;
of men, or of children; or be no more the cause of their being childless, or of bereaving them of men; sins committed on the mountains being the cause of provoking the Lord to bereave them; or men should be no more killed upon them, as they had been.

Ezechiël 36:12 In-Context

10 En Ik zal mensen op u vermenigvuldigen, het ganse huis Israels, ja, dat geheel; en de steden zullen bewoond, en de eenzame plaatsen bebouwd worden.
11 Ja, Ik zal mensen en beesten op u vermenigvuldigen, en zij zullen vermenigvuldigd worden en vruchtbaar zijn; en Ik zal u doen bewonen, als in uw vorige tijden, ja, Ik zal het beter maken dan in uw beginselen; en gij zult weten, dat Ik de HEERE ben.
12 En Ik zal mensen op u doen wandelen, namelijk Mijn volk Israel, die zullen u erfelijk bezitten, en gij zult hun ter erfenis zijn, en gij zult ze voortaan niet meer beroven.
13 Zo zegt de Heere HEERE: Omdat zij tot u zeggen: Gij zijt een land, dat mensen opeet, en gij zijt een land, dat uw volken berooft;
14 Daarom zult gij niet meer mensen opeten, en uw volken niet meer doen struikelen, spreekt de Heere HEERE.
