Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Deuteronomy 30:5
If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 30:5
(5) Into the land which thy fathers possessed.—It is very difficult to interpret these words of any land except Palestine. Comp. Jeremiah 29:13-14, for their fulfilment in the first restoration, from Babylon.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Deuteronomy 30:5
Verse 5. Will bring thee into the land] As this promise refers to a return from a captivity in which they had been scattered among all nations, consequently it is not the Babylonish captivity which is intended; and the repossession of their land must be different from that which was consequent on their return from Chaldea.
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 30:5
