Context of Ezekiel 34:29
27And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am Yhwh, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 28And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 30Thus shall they know that I Yhwh their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Yhwh. 31And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Yhwh.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 34:29
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 29I will raise up - a plant of renown - לשם מטע matta leshem, "a plantation to the name;" to the name of Christ. A Christian Church composed of men who are Christians, who have the spirit of Christ in them, and do not bear his name in vain. I believe the words might be applied to the Christian Church; but that Christ may be called a plant or plantation here, - as he is elsewhere called a branch and a rod, Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 11:1; so Jeremiah 23:5; Jeremiah…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. plant of renown--Messiah, the "Rod" and "Branch" (Is 11:1), the "righteous Branch" (Jr 23:5), who shall obtain for them "renown." Fairbairn less probably translates, "A plantation for a name," that is, a flourishing condition, represented as a garden (alluding to Eden, Ge 2:8-11, with its various trees, good for food and pleasant to the sight), the planting of the Lord (Is 60:21; 61:3), and an object of "renown" among the heathen.Read the comment
