And they shall come thither, &c.] That those of the captivity shall come to the land of Israel, they or their posterity: and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof; the idols of the nations, that had been there introduced, detestable to God and all good men: and all the abominations thereof from thence; idols, as before, even all of them, so that idolatry should be wholly rooted out; this had its accomplishment under Zerubbabel, Ezra, Haggai, &c. when the worship of God was restored, and there was a reformation of many abuses in religion; and again in the times of the Maccabees; and will have a greater fulfilment at the time of the conversion of the Jews; when everything that is detestable and abominable among that people will be removed; of which conversion the following words are a prophecy.
