“Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
The summons to God's faithful people and those who have made a covenant with God through sacrifice establishes the primary audience for the divine address. The reference to gathering the faithful suggests separation of the righteous from the wicked; God addresses covenant people distinctly. The mention of the covenant established through sacrifice emphasizes the specific relationship binding the people to God through ritual action. The emphasis on gathering suggests both physical assembly and the identification of those belonging to God's covenant community. This verse establishes that the divine speech addresses the covenant people specifically, calling them to account and judgment.
