Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 37:21

21 And say unto them, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen whither they be gone , and will gather them on every side , and bring them into their own land.

The ten Tribes, as well as Iudah, and Ben[illegible: 1 letter]amin, at least, many of the ten Tribes.
