God Restores and Expands
Commentators explain that this verse celebrates God's power to reverse Israel's fortunes. After a period of decline, God doesn't just restore His people; He increases their numbers and expands their territory. Scholars clarify that the phrase 'enlarged all the borders of the land' is a better translation than older versions, shifting the meaning from dispersion to glorious expansion.
