Commentators emphasize that the phrase "all Israel" is highly significant. It indicates that the return from exile was not limited to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Scholars like Barnes and Gill point out that this was a national revival, with representatives from the other ten tribes joining the return, signifying a partial healing of the nation's long-standing division.
