Zechariah 10:10-12 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 10:5-12

Here are divers precious promises made to the people of God, which look further than to the state of the Jews in the latter days of their church, and have certain reference to the spiritual Israel of God, the gospel-church, and all true believers. I. They shall have God's favour and presence, and shall be owned and accepted of him. This is the foundation of all the rest: The Lord is with them, Zech. 10:5. He espouses their cause, takes their part, is on their side; and, if he be for them, who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 10:10

I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt ,.... The Targum paraphrases it, "and as I brought them out of the land of Egypt, so will gather their captivity out of Assyria;' suggesting there would be a likeness between the one and the other. Egypt may denote the state of distance and bondage in which all men are by nature; and the Jews, at their conversion, will be brought out of it, into the glorious liberty of the children of God, by the mighty arm of the Lord, according to... read more

And he shall pass through the sea with affliction ,.... Either the people of the Jews, as Israel of old did, when they came out of Egypt, to which the allusion is; or the wind shall pass through the sea, as Aben Ezra supplies it, and it shall become dry; that is, the river of Egypt: or "affliction" F18 Pagninus, Montanus, Munster, Vatablus, Calvin, Drusius, Cocceius. , as many supply it, shall pass through the sea; the nations, which are many as the sea, as Kimchi interprets it; and so... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 10:12

And I will strengthen them in the Lord ,.... Not the Egyptians and Assyrians, but the Jews, as in Zechariah 10:5 , the Targum is, "I will strengthen them in the word of the Lord;' in the Messiah, by his power, and in the grace that is in him; and their faith and hope in him, and love to him: or "by" F20 ביהוה "per Jehovam", Piscator. him; so that, through him strengthening them, they will be able to do all things; to exercise grace; perform duty; withstand temptation; oppose... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:10

Out of the land of Egypt - I will bring them out of all the countries where they have been dispersed, and bring them back to their own land; and they shall be so numerous that they shall scarcely find there, in all its length and breadth, a sufficiency of room. If all the Jews that are now scattered over the face of the earth were gathered together, they would make a mighty nation. And God will gather them together. As a wonderful providence has preserved them in every place, so a wondrous... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:11

And he shall pass through the sea - Here is an allusion to the passage of the Red Sea, on their coming out of Egypt, and to their crossing Jordan, when they went into the promised land; the waves or waters of both were dried up, thrown from side to side, till all the people passed safely through. When they shall return from the various countries in which they now sojourn, God will work, if necessary, similar miracles to those which he formerly worked for their forefathers; and the people... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:12

I will strengthen them in the Lord - I, the God of Israel, will strengthen them in the Lord-Jesus, the Messiah; and thus indeed the Chaldee: I will strengthen them, דיי בימרא bemeymre dayai , in or by the Word of Jehovah, the same personal Word which we so often meet with in the Chaldee paraphrases or Targum. They shall walk up and down in his name - In the name of the Messiah. Saith the Lord - God speaks here, not of himself, but concerning his Christ. The Jews shall have complete... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:10

Verse 10 He confirms the same prediction — that though the Jews were like broken pieces, they were yet to entertain hope of their return and future restoration, since God was able to gather them from the remotest parts whenever he stretched forth his hand. He then names Egypt and Assyria, that the Jews might know that the redemptions here promised is equally open to them all, however far separated they might be. For though Egypt was not very far from Assyria, yet they who had fled to Egypt were... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:11

Verse 11 The Prophet confirms what he had said respecting the power of God, which is so great that it can easily and without any effort lay prostrate all the mighty forces of the world. As then the impediments which the Jews observed might have subverted their hope, the Prophet here removes them; he reminds the Jews that God’s power would be far superior to all the impediments which the world could throw in their way. But the expressions are figurative, and allusions are made to the history of... read more

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

Verse 12 Here at length he includes the substance of what we have noticed, that there would be sufficient help in God to raise up and support his people, and to render them victorious over all their enemies. He had already proved this by saying, that God had formerly sufficiently testified by many miracles how much superior he was to the whole world; but he briefly completes the whole of this proof, and shows, that the Jews, provided that they relied on God and expected from him what he had... read more
