Ezekiel 34:27

The trees of the field will give their fruit, and the land will yield its produce; My flock will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bars of their yoke and delivered them from the hands that enslaved them.

Study note

Setting — God addresses the exiled community through Ezekiel, promising agricultural abundance and national security immediately following a declaration of seasonal blessings on His hill (Ezekiel 34:26).

The words — וְ/נָתַן (ve./na.Tan) and תִּתֵּן (ti.Ten) both render the verb "it will give," applied to the trees yielding fruit and the land yielding produce.

The thread — The promise of land and trees bearing fruit echoes Leviticus 26:4, while the breaking of the yoke and deliverance from enslavement parallels Jeremiah 30:8 and Leviticus 26:13.

Why it lands — The text demands recognition of divine sovereignty as the direct cause of both physical security and the removal of foreign oppression.

King James Version

And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
