Zechariah 10:8-9

10:8 I will signal for them and gather them, for I have already redeemed them; then they will become as numerous as they were before. 10:9 Though I scatter them among the nations, they will remember in far-off places – they and their children will sprout forth and return.

tn Or “sow” (so KJV, ASV). The imagery is taken from the sowing of seed by hand.
