This verse says God will bring his people back from Egypt and Assyria to a place called Gilead and Lebanon, where they'll have so many people that there won't be enough room for everyone. It's like moving all the furniture in your house into one small room!

Explained for Children

Imagine you're playing hide and seek with lots of friends scattered far away. Now imagine someone saying, 'I'm going to find all those friends and bring them back home where they'll be so many that we won't have space for everyone.' That's what God is promising here.
