Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 34:30
Ezekiel 34:30 Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [am] with them, and [that] they, [even] the house of Israel, [are] my people, saith the Lord GOD.Ver. 30. Thus shall they know that I the Lord their God am with them.] They shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord; they shall know the salvation of their God; they shall have a plerophory of faith.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 34:30
30. am with them] LXX. omits with them, reading: that I the Lord am their God, and they … my people—the usual antithesis. The people’s consciousness of salvation shall be, so to speak, a double one, that Jehovah is their God and that they are his people. The two things might seem identical, but the second suggests a feeling regarding themselves which belongs to the perfect enjoyment of salvation.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 34:30
