‏ Ezekiel 34:12-14

12. in the day that he is among--in the midst of (Hebrew) His sheep that had been scattered. Referring to Messiah's second advent, when He shall be "the glory in the midst of Israel" (Zec 2:5).

in the cloudy ... day--the day of the nation's calamity (Joe 2:2).

13. And I will bring them out from the people, &c.--(Eze 28:25; 36:24; 37:21, 22; Is 65:9, 10; Jr 23:3).

14. good pasture--(Psa 23:2).

high mountains of Israel--In Eze 17:23; 20:40, the phrase is "the mountain of the height of Israel" in the singular number. The reason for the difference is: there Ezekiel spoke of the central seat of the kingdom, Mount Zion, where the people met for the worship of Jehovah; here he speaks of the kingdom of Israel at large, all the parts of which are regarded as possessing a moral elevation.
