Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, &c.] (See Gill on “<263922>Ezekiel 39:22”); which caused them to be led into captivity among the Heathen; for their sins and transgressions: and so the Targum adds, “because they sinned before me:” but I have gathered them into their own land; being now penitent for their sins, and believing in the Messiah: and so the Targum, “and now, because they are converted, I have gathered them, &c.” and have left none of them any more there; among the Heathen, or in the land of their enemies; everyone shall be returned to the land of Canaan, be they where they will, as when they came out of Egypt: and this is typical of the salvation of God’s elect, or mystical Israel; not one of them shall be lost or perish, but all shall be brought to repentance: this again shows, that this prophecy did not respect the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; since then many were left behind.
