“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;”
The call to expand—'Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes'—summons Zion to prepare for overwhelming increase. The progressive commands (enlarge, stretch, lengthen, strengthen) emphasize comprehensive preparation. The image of expanding dwelling suggests that restoration will bring more population than current habitations can contain. This verse makes restoration so abundant that preparations must precede the influx.
