50:18-19 Therefore: This word introduces two divine decrees. The first decree condemned Babylon to complete annihilation, like the punishment the Lord gave Assyria (Nah 3). Assyria fell in 612 BC; Babylon fell in 539 BC. • I will bring Israel home: The second divine decree promises restoration for Israel, specifically the people of the northern tribes, whose land was defined by the indicated landmarks. • Carmel is a mountain range close to the Mediterranean Sea in the northwestern corner of Israel. • Bashan was a region in the highlands rising east of the Sea of Galilee. • The tribe of Ephraim occupied the hill country in the central part of Israel west of the Jordan River. • Gilead was a highland area that rose on the east side of the Jordan River, opposite Ephraim.
