Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
So tell them this is what God says: 'I'm going to bring you back together from all the different places where you've been scattered around the world, and I'm giving you the land of Israel again.'
God's promise: no matter how far you've been scattered, he's bringing you home.
