Exegesis
The phrase meʾeretz megureihem {מֵאֶרֶץ מְגוּרֵיהֶם | mē-ʼe-reṣ mə-gu-rê-hêm} “out of the land of their sojournings” forms a locative construct chain, situating the action in the context of exile.
In context — Ezekiel 20:38
And I will purge out from among you the rebels and the transgressors against Me . I will bring them out of the land of their sojournings, but they shall not enter the land of Israel; and you will know that I am the LORD .
