15 und ich werde ihr von dort aus ihre Weinberge geben, und das Tal Achor (Trübsal, Unglück) zu einer Tür der Hoffnung. Und sie wird daselbst singen (Eig. anheben zu singen; od. antworten) wie in den Tagen ihrer Jugend, und wie an dem Tage, da sie aus dem Lande Ägypten heraufzog.

10403. 'And bring them to me' means bringing together into a single whole. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing to Aaron' as bringing into a single whole such things from the literal sense of the Word as are favourable to external forms of love and to the major ideas resulting from these. The fact that this is what is meant by 'bringing to Aaron the ear-jewels of gold on the ears of wives, sons, and daughters' is clear from what has been shown immediately above in 10402.
