SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:12
¶ De cierto te reuniré todo, oh Jacob: recogeré ciertamente el resto de Israel; lo pondré junto como ovejas de Bosra, como rebaño en mitad de su majada; harán estruendo por la multitud de los hombres.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Micah 2:12
Verse 12. I will surely assemble] This is a promise of the restoration of Israel from captivity. He compares them to a flock of sheep rushing together to their fold, the hoofs of which make a wonderful noise or clatter. So when one hundred sheep run, eight hundred toes or divisions of these bifed animals make a clattering noise. This appears to be the image.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee , etc.] These words are either the words of the false prophet continued, that prophesied of wine and strong drink, as Aben Ezra; promising great plenty and prosperity, and that the remnant of the ten tribes carried captive by Tiglathpileser should be returned, and they should all live together in safety and plenty, and rejoice because of their numbers: or else they are a denunciation of threatenings and judgments, as Kimchi; that the Israelites should be gathered indeed together, but as sheep for the slaughter, even those that remained, not as yet carried captive; these should be shut up, and closely besieged in their cities, and make a noise, and cry for fear of their enemies, and because of the great number of them: or rather they are a comfortable promise of the gathering of the people of Israel in the times of the Messiah, in the last days the Gospel dispensation, even all of Jacob, all the then posterity of Israel; for then “all Israel shall be saved”, ( Romans 11:26); and this is introduced, though abruptly, as often such promises are, for the comfort of the Lord’s people, amidst sorrowful and sad tidings brought to the people in general: I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; the remnant according to the election of grace, whom the Lord will reserve for himself, those that are left of them in the latter day; these shall be gathered effectually by the grace of God unto Jesus, the true Messiah, they shall now seek after; and into his church, to join themselves to his people, embracing his Gospel, and submitting to his ordinances; when there shall be “one fold” for Jews and Gentiles, and “one Shepherd” over them, the Lord Jesus Christ, ( John 10:16); I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah ; a place famous for flocks and pastures; signifying that they should be took care of by the great and good Shepherd, have a good fold, and good pastures provided for them, where they should feed comfortably together, in great unity and affection: as the flock in the midst of their fold ; lying down safely, and resting quietly; (see Ezekiel 34:13,14); they shall make great noise by reason [of the multitude] of men : a joyful noise, because of their own numbers being increased with men like a flock, and so numerous, that the place will be too strait for them; and because of the number of good and faithful shepherds under Christ, to feed and protect them, even pastors after God’s own heart, given them to feed them with knowledge and understanding, ( Jeremiah 3:15).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12, 13 - These verses may refer to the captivity of Israel and Judah. But the passage is also a prophecy of the conversion of the Jews to Christ. The Lord would not only bring them from captivity, and multiply them, but the Lord Jesus would open their way to God, by taking upon him the nature of man, and by the work of his Spirit in their hearts, breakin the fetters of Satan. Thus he has gone before, and the people follow breaking, in his strength, through the enemies that would stop their way to heaven __________________________________________________________________
