Zechariah10:9
9 And I will sowe them among the people : and they shall remember me in far countreys , and they shall live with their children , and turn again .
It might seem impossible the Jews should so increase but to satisfie us herein God promiseth to sow them, so their increase should be like the increase of rich soil that hath much seed cast on it, Ier. 31.27. and Hos. 2.23. that Land shall soon be full of Men and Cattle, when God sows both.

Whither soever they were driven in the farthest parts of the Persian Empire.

To me, my Temple, their City and Countrey. That this may also refer somewhat to the Conversion of the Jews to the Gospel, and to their spreading the Gospel unto others for multiplying of the seed of Israel according to the Faith, as I doubt not, so neither shall I particularly enquire, since the letter so fairly suits with history and matter of fact, as is evident from the multitudes that were gathered to the passeover when Titus Vespasianus coopt them up in a close siege.
There they shall think of me, and long for me, and desire to return to Ierusalem, and to my Temple.
