God Leaves No One Behind
Commentators emphasize that God's promise to regather His people is radically inclusive. By specifically mentioning the blind, the lame, pregnant women, and those in labor—people normally left behind on a difficult journey—God shows that His salvation reaches everyone. No one is too weak, too vulnerable, or too burdensome for Him to rescue and restore.
