I will feed my flock, &c.] This is repeated for the further confirmation of it, that it might be depended upon that the Lord would feed his people in the manner before promised; and it gives a reason why he would do it, because they were his flock; he had a right unto them, a property in them; they were separated and distinguished from others by him, as the church of God is; and which is also purchased by Christ, and gathered out of the world by his Spirit and grace; and therefore he will feed them, or take care that they shall be fed, (<442028>Acts 20:28): and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord; in the good fold provided for them; where they have both rest and safety, and also plenty of suitable food; (see Gill on “<263414>Ezekiel 34:14”). The Targum is, “I will govern my people, and will cause them to dwell safely, saith the Lord God;” The Septuagint and Arabic versions add, “and they shall know that I am the Lord”.
