Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Eze 37:25 - They // Your fathers // My servant David

They the ten tribes and the two tribes. That I have given: see Eze 28:25 .

Your fathers Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, whose memory you venerate, and greatly affect to be heirs more of their lands and houses than of their virtues and piety. Their children’ s children for ever: if this prophecy or promise be to be understood with the precedent verses in the letter of it, and not mystically and only spiritually, I doubt not but to the end of the world, till Christ’ s coming to judgment, the Jews converted to Christ, and professing the gospel, shall, they and their seed after them, inherit this land of Canaan in much peace and glory. But I speak on supposition, not asserting any thing herein.

My servant David typically understood it asserts the everlasting kingdom of our Messiah, and the everlasting happiness of all the faithful subjects of this King: see Eze 34:23,24 .

Haydock: Eze 37:25 - Ever

Ever. Let the Jews shew how this had been accomplished. We know that Christ preserves and rule his Church unto the end.

Gill: Eze 37:25 - And they shall dwell in the land which I have given to Jacob my servant // wherein your fathers have dwelt // and they shall dwell therein, even they and their children, and their children's children for ever // and my servant David shall be their prince for ever

And they shall dwell in the land which I have given to Jacob my servant,.... Abraham and Isaac are not mentioned, as Kimchi observes, because they had other children, who did not inherit the land; only Jacob, because the land was given to him, and his seed alter him:

wherein your fathers have dwelt; and so the more desirable to them; and whose inhabitation and possession of it were a pledge of theirs:

and they shall dwell therein, even they and their children, and their children's children for ever; unto the end of the world, or personal coming of Christ: and so everything after promised them is said to be for ever: this shows that this prophecy had not its accomplishment in the return of the Jews from Babylon to their own land; since they have been dispossessed of that again, in which state they now are; but that it refers to time to come, when, being converted to Christ, they shall possess their land again, and dwell in it, as long as the sun and moon endure:

and my servant David shall be their prince for ever; or their king, as the Targum; and which cannot be understood of any temporal prince, but of the King Messiah, whose throne is for ever and ever; whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; and who shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever and ever, Psa 45:6 and to whom it is applied by several Jewish writers ^k.
