In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
In those days, the people of Judah will walk together with the people of Israel, and they will come together from the northern lands to return to the land that I gave as an inheritance to your ancestors.
God is promising that the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah will one day be reunited and return together to their homeland.
📚 Historical Context
This prophecy was given during a time when the kingdom of Israel had already been conquered by Assyria (722 BC) and scattered to the north, while Judah was facing the threat of Babylonian conquest. The northern kingdom (Israel) and southern kingdom (Judah) had been divided since Solomon's reign ended, creating centuries of separation and often hostility between the two groups of God's people.
