Commentary

5 notes on this verse
And I will bring Israel again to his habitation,.... Or "fold" (u), or place of pasturage; for the metaphor of sheep is still continued. Israel designs not the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and the Levites, and a few of the other tribes mixed with them only, but all Israel, together with Judah, as appears from Jer 50:20; and so this prophecy had not its full accomplishment at the Jews' return from the Babylonish captivity; but respects their future conversion, when all Israel shall be saved, and they will return to their own land.

Chaldea will be plundered

on Jeremiah 50:10-20

Verse 17 sums up: “The first to devour him was the king of Assyria; the last to crush his bones was Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.” Verse 20 turns to pardon, “for I will forgive the remnant I preserve,” the forgiveness promised in the new covenant of 31:34.

They still retained a title to the land of Canaan; it is their habitation still. The discontinuance of their possession was not the destruction of their right.

Or, “I will bring Israel (the scared sheep) back to his pasturage (see Jer 50:7) and he shall graze etc.” The places named are the districts of Palestine most famous for their rich herbage.

I will bring Israel again - This seems to refer wholly to the ten tribes; for Carmel, Bashan, Mount Ephraim, and Gilead, were in their territories.
