“Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.”
The promise concerns restoration of Jacob's fortunes and dwellings—a return from exile and reconstruction of society. Mention of cities being rebuilt suggests communal, structural renewal; the social fabric is rewoven. Theologically, this teaches that God's salvation includes both spiritual renewal and material, communal restoration.
