스가랴 10:8 KRV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 10:8-10

Zechariah 10:8-10. I will hiss for them Rather, whistle, as the word שׁרק should be here translated. I will call them from distant countries, as a shepherd calls his flock together with his whistle. For I have redeemed them For I have, and will, by the workings of my divine providence, deliver and redeem them out of their enemies’ hands, and from those who hold them captives. And they shall increase as they have increased Namely, in the most flourishing times, such as were the reigns... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 10:1-12

Problems of leadership (10:1-11:3)At the time this prophecy was given, the temple had long been finished and life in Jerusalem was not as it had been previously. Zerubbabel and Joshua had apparently died, and without strong leadership the Jews drifted into the ungodly ways of neighbouring nations. Some were using idolatrous objects as magic charms, in the belief that these would bring good rains and good crops. Zechariah tells them to stop such practices and trust in God alone (10:1-2).God is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 10:8

"I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase as they have increased."It is "saved" or "redeemed" Israel that God spoke of here; and where was Israel to procure that "salvation"? In the last chapter (Zechariah 9), it was revealed that the lowly king riding upon an ass and "bringing salvation" would be the unique provider of it. This speaks of the times of the Messiah, during which the worldwide spread of Christianity would "gather" God's people all... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 10:8

8. hiss for them—Keepers of bees by a whistle call them together. So Jehovah by the mere word of His call shall gather back to Palestine His scattered people (Zechariah 10:10; Isaiah 5:26; Ezekiel 36:11). The multitudes mentioned by JOSEPHUS [Wars of the Jews, 3:2], as peopling Galilee two hundred years after this time, were a pledge of the future more perfect fulfilment of the prophecy. for I have redeemed them—namely, in My covenant purpose "redeemed" both temporally and spiritually. as they... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 10:8

The Lord, the true shepherd of His flock, would simply whistle and His people would follow Him because He had redeemed them (Exodus 12; Isaiah 35:10; Micah 6:4; John 10:11-16; 1 Peter 1:18-19). They would again be as numerous as they had been in the days of their greatest prosperity."Just as redemption, that is, election, theologically preceded the actual exodus escape from Egypt (Exodus 2:24; Exodus 3:7-8; Exodus 4:22-23; Exodus 6:2-8), so it is on the basis of an already effected redemption... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:1-12

Restoration of God’s People1, 2. A warning to trust in God and not in sorcerers. 3-7. The Lord will cast out the evil guides of the people, and under new leaders Ephraim and Judah will be victorious. 8-12. Ephraim will be gathered, but Egypt and Assyria will be humbled.1. The connexion with Zechariah 9:17 is very slight, fertility demanding the necessary rain. Some believe that the passage is entirely independent. The time of the latter rain] The early rain was in October, when the ground would... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 10:8

THE FURTHER REDEMPTION OF ISRAEL (Zechariah 10:8-12).(8) A yet further redemption of Israel was to take place before the consummation of these victorious promises. Some critics have considered this passage as conclusive against the assumption of a post-exilic origin of these latter chapters. But Zechariah 8:8 speaks in similar terms: “And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem;” and yet the genuineness of that passage has never been called in question. The fact is... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 10:1-12

THE CONTENTS OF "ZECHARIAH"Chapters 9-14FROM the number of conflicting opinions which prevail upon the subject, we have seen how impossible it is to decide upon a scheme of division for "Zechariah" 9-14. These chapters consist of a number of separate oracles, which their language and general conceptions lead us on the whole to believe were put together by one hand, and which, with the possible exception of some older fragments, reflect the troubled times in Palestine that followed on the... read more
