residue of the heathen
Ezekiel 36:5
36:5 residue of the heathen. Read here “the rest of the nations,” in addition to Idumea, or Edom, that would desire to take over Israel’s lands after the Chaldeans had devastated it. Instead they also will “bear their shame” (Ezekiel 36:7), and Israel’s lands will eventually be restored to her.
