The Lord Will Restore His People
2:12I will certainly gather all of you, O Jacob,
I will certainly assemble those Israelites who remain.34
I will bring them together like sheep in a fold,35
like a flock in the middle of a pasture;36
they will be so numerous that they will make a lot of noise.37
2:13The one who can break through barriers will lead them out38
they will break out, pass through the gate, and leave.39
Their king will advance40 before them,
The Lord himself will lead them.41
Footnotes
- 34 Heb “the remnant of Israel.”
- 35 The reads בָּצְרָה (batsrah, “Bozrah”) but the form should be emended to בַּצִּרָה (batsirah, “into the fold”). See D. R. Hillers, Micah (Hermeneia), .
- 36 The reads “its pasture,” but the final vav (ו) belongs with the following verb. See §127.i.
- 37 Heb “and they will be noisy [or perhaps, “excited”] from men.” The subject of the third feminine plural verb תְּהִימֶנָה (téhimenah, “they will be noisy”) is probably the feminine singular צֹאן (tso’n, “flock”). (For another example of this collective singular noun with a feminine plural verb, see Gen 30:38.) In the construction מֵאָדָם (me’adam, “from men”) the preposition is probably causal. L. C. Allen translates “bleating in fear of men” (Joel, Obadiah, Jonah, and Micah [], ), but it is possible to take the causal sense as “because of the large quantity of men.” In this case the sheep metaphor and the underlying reality are mixed.
- 38 Heb “the one who breaks through goes up before them.” The verb form is understood as a perfect of certitude, emphasizing the certainty of this coming event.
- 39 The three verb forms (a perfect and two preterites with vav [ו] consecutive) indicate certitude. The “fold” from which the sheep/people break out is probably a reference to their place of exile.
- 40 The verb form (a preterite with vav [ו] consecutive) indicates certitude.
- 41 Heb “the Lord [will be] at their head.”

I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob;
I will gather the remnant of Israel;
I will set them together
like sheep in a fold,
like a flock in its pasture,
a noisy multitude of men.
He who opens the breach goes up before them;
they break through and pass the gate,
going out by it.
Their king passes on before them,
the Lord at their head.

I will collect the remnant of Israel.
I will bring them together like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in the middle of its pasture.
It will be noisy with people.

“Someday, O Israel, I will gather you;
I will gather the remnant who are left.
I will bring you together again like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture.
Yes, your land will again
be filled with noisy crowds!
Your leader will break out
and lead you out of exile,
out through the gates of the enemy cities,
back to your own land.
Your king will lead you;
the Lord himself will guide you.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob;
I will surely gather together the remainder of Israel.
I will set them like sheep of Bozrah.
Like a herd in the midst of their pasture
they will be in tumult from people.
The one who breaks out before them goes up;
they break through and pass the gate,
going out through it.
Their king passes before them,
Yahweh at their head.

KJV 1900King James Version
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee;
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,
As the flock in the midst of their fold:
They shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
The breaker is come up before them:
They have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it:
And their king shall pass before them,
And the Lord on the head of them.
