Give up--namely, My people.
sons . . . daughters--The feminine joined to the masculine expresses the complete totality of anything (Zac 9:17). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
I will say to the north, Give up - Give up my people, or restore them to their own land.
Bring my sons ... - Bring all my people from the distant lands where they have been driven in their dispersion. This is a beautiful passage. As if all lands were under the control of God, and he could at once command and they would obey, he calls on them to yield up his people to their own country. He issues a commandment which is heard in all quarters of the globe, and the scattered people of God come flocking again to their own land. |
