the many good things he did for the family of Israel, ² 

because of ³  his compassion and great faithfulness.

Yesaya 66:20

66:20 They will bring back all your countrymen ⁴  from all the nations as an offering to the Lord. They will bring them ⁵  on horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels ⁶  to my holy hill Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the Israelites bring offerings to the Lord’s temple in ritually pure containers.
