“They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.”
The promise that those who dwell in the shade of Israel will return and grain will grow and Israel will blossom like the vine and its fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon indicates that the restoration of Israel will benefit not only Israel itself but those who dwell in proximity to Israel. The image of those dwelling in shade suggests protection and blessing extended to others. This verse suggests that Israel's restoration will have beneficial consequences for surrounding peoples.
