I will provide a place
The Hebrew root for "provide" is "שׂוּם" (sum), which means to set, appoint, or establish. This indicates God's intentional and sovereign action in securing a designated place for His people. Historically, this reflects God's covenantal promise to Israel, emphasizing His role as a divine provider and protector. The "place" refers to the Promised Land, a tangible symbol of God's faithfulness and a foreshadowing of the eternal rest believers find in Christ.

for My people Israel
The phrase "My people Israel" underscores the special relationship between God and the nation of Israel. "Israel" is derived from the Hebrew "יִשְׂרָאֵל" (Yisra'el), meaning "God contends" or "one who struggles with God." This name, given to Jacob after wrestling with God, signifies the enduring covenant relationship and the identity of the Israelites as God's chosen people. It highlights the continuity of God's promises from the patriarchs to the nation.

and will plant them
The imagery of planting suggests stability, growth, and permanence. The Hebrew word "נָטַע" (nata) conveys the act of planting or establishing firmly. This metaphor reflects God's intention to root His people securely in the land, ensuring their prosperity and spiritual growth. It also alludes to the Messianic hope, where believers are spiritually planted in Christ, the true vine.

so that they may dwell
"Dwell" comes from the Hebrew "שָׁכַן" (shakan), meaning to settle or abide. This term is often associated with God's presence, as seen in the "Shekinah" glory. The promise of dwelling signifies not just physical habitation but also a spiritual communion with God. It points to the ultimate fulfillment in the New Jerusalem, where God's people will dwell eternally with Him.

in a place of their own
This phrase emphasizes ownership and belonging. The land is not just a temporary residence but a permanent inheritance. It reflects God's promise to Abraham and his descendants, affirming their identity and destiny. Spiritually, it symbolizes the believer's inheritance in Christ, a place of eternal security and rest.

and be disturbed no more
The promise of peace and security is central to God's covenant. The Hebrew "בָּהַל" (bahal) means to be dismayed or terrified. God's assurance is that His people will no longer live in fear or anxiety. This peace is ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who offers believers peace that surpasses understanding, free from the disturbances of sin and oppression.

Violent men will not oppress them again
The term "violent men" refers to those who act with injustice and cruelty. Historically, Israel faced numerous oppressors, but God's promise is one of deliverance and protection. The Hebrew "לָחַץ" (lachats) means to press or oppress, indicating the end of such afflictions. This points to the eschatological hope where Christ will reign in justice, and all oppression will cease.

as they did at the beginning
This phrase recalls Israel's early history of slavery in Egypt and subsequent oppressions. It serves as a reminder of God's past deliverance and His faithfulness to fulfill His promises. The "beginning" signifies the starting point of God's redemptive plan, culminating in the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ, who frees believers from the bondage of sin and death.

(9) I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them.--Comp. Exodus 15:17; Psalm 44:2-3. Although Israel had effected a settlement in Canaan, the history seems to show that down to the times of David the tribal boundaries were subject to great fluctuation, and the inroads of surrounding peoples made their tenure very uncertain.

Them . . . they . . . their.--Heb., him . . . he . . . his; Israel, the subject, being singular.

In their place.--In his own stead, or fixed habitation. (Comp. homestead, farmstead.)

Shall be moved.--Shall be troubled, or disturbed.

Children of wickedness.--Sons of wickedness, i.e., wicked men; like "sons of Belial" (worthlessness).

Waste them.--An Aramaic usage of the verb. Samuel, "afflict them," which seems original. (Comp. Genesis 15:13.) . . .

Verse 9. - All the verbs of this verse are in the same tense as those of the foregoing verse, which are correctly translated. For an expression similar to the last clause of the verse, Neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, may be found in Psalm 89:22.
