Ezekiel 20:34 Summary

In Ezekiel 20:34, God promises to bring His people out of the places where they have been scattered and gather them back to Himself, using His strong hand and outstretched arm. This is a powerful display of God's love and mercy, similar to how He delivered the Israelites from slavery in Exodus 6:6. Just as God had a plan to restore His people in the past (Jeremiah 31:31-34), He still has a plan to restore us today.

This phrase, also found in Ezekiel 20:33, symbolizes God's powerful and sometimes severe intervention in the lives of His people, similar to how He delivered the Israelites from slavery in Exodus 6:6 and Deuteronomy 4:34.

Why does God need to 'gather' His people from the lands where they have been scattered?

The scattering of God's people is a consequence of their disobedience, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:64 and Ezekiel 20:23, and their gathering is a sign of God's mercy and restoration, as promised in Ezekiel 36:24 and Isaiah 11:12.

What is the significance of God's 'outpoured wrath' in this context?

God's outpoured wrath is a display of His holy justice and a call to repentance, as seen in Romans 1:18 and Ezekiel 7:8, and it is also a necessary step towards the restoration and redemption of His people, as promised in Ezekiel 20:42-44 and Isaiah 48:9-11.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 20:34

And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. I will bring you out from the people.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 20:34

From the people; Sidonians, Ammonites, Moabites, &c., whoever they were to whom the house of the apostate Jews betook themselves; where they thought to lurk, God will bring them thence into Babylonish captivity. Will gather you; the same thing doubled for greater emphasis. Are scattered; you dispersed yourselves for your supposed safety and welfare. With a mighty hand: see . My power and arm shall execute my just displeasure on you.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 20:34

Ezekiel 20:34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.Ver. 34. And I will bring you out from the people.] The heathens with whom you have incorporated, hoping so to shun me, and to be out of the reach of my rod; but I shall sure find and ferret you out of all your starting holes; I shall be meet with you. So God was here with the English by the sweating sickness, which hunted and haunted also our countrymen in foreign parts, singling them out from others. It reigned, or rather God reigned by it, some forty years together. Sennert. De Febrib., lib. iv. cap. 15.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 20:34

(34) Bring you out from the people.—This and the parallel clause, “gather you out of the countries,” cannot refer to the restoration of the people to their land, both because it is an avenging act, “with fury poured out”; and also because its object is said in the next verse to be to bring them into the wilderness. It must therefore refer to the Divine dealings with the people in their dispersion. He will separate them from other people; He will not allow them, as they proposed (Ezekiel 20:32), to “be as the heathen;” but will bring them out and gather them as a distinct race and spiritually separated from them all, to be dealt with as His own peculiar people.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 20:34

34. the people] peoples. Though Israel was in captivity in the Babylonian empire, this empire embraced many peoples, the world as it was then known (cf. ch. 17) Formerly Israel was entangled among the Egyptians, now it is entangled among all nations; it shall now be gathered out as it was in the former age.
