You will again plant vineyards
This phrase speaks to the restoration and renewal promised by God to His people. The act of planting vineyards is symbolic of stability, prosperity, and a return to normalcy after a period of desolation or exile. In the Hebrew context, vineyards were a sign of blessing and abundance. The Hebrew word for "plant" (נָטַע, nata) implies a deliberate and hopeful action, suggesting that the people will not only return to their land but will also engage in productive and fruitful labor. This promise is a reassurance of God's faithfulness and His commitment to restoring His people.

on the hills of Samaria
The mention of "the hills of Samaria" is significant as it refers to a region that was once part of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which had been conquered and its people exiled by the Assyrians. Samaria was often associated with idolatry and rebellion against God, yet here it is included in the promise of restoration. This indicates God's grace and the inclusivity of His redemptive plan. The hills of Samaria, known for their fertile land, are a fitting location for the imagery of vineyards, symbolizing the fruitfulness that will come with God's blessing.

the farmers will plant
The term "farmers" (אִכָּרִים, ikkarim) highlights the role of the people in participating in God's restoration. It emphasizes human agency and responsibility in the divine plan. The act of planting is a forward-looking activity, requiring faith and patience, as the results are not immediate. This reflects the trust the people must have in God's promises, as they engage in the work of rebuilding and renewing their land.

and enjoy the fruit
To "enjoy the fruit" (וְחִלֵּלוּ, vechillelu) signifies the fulfillment of God's promises and the joy that comes from His blessings. In the ancient Near Eastern context, enjoying the fruit of one's labor was a sign of peace and security, as it meant that the people could live without fear of invasion or destruction. This phrase encapsulates the ultimate goal of God's restoration: not just survival, but thriving in His provision and care. It is a picture of the abundant life that God desires for His people, a life marked by joy, satisfaction, and gratitude.

(5) Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria . . .--The mention of Samaria shows that the prophet is thinking of the restoration of the northern kingdom, as well as of Judah, under the rule of the true King. In the Hebrew words "shall eat them as common things" we have a singular train of associations. The primary meaning of the verb is to "profane." The rule of Leviticus 19:23-24, based partly, perhaps, on grounds of culture, partly with a symbolic meaning, required that a vineyard for three years after it was planted should be treated as "uncircumcised" (i.e., that no use should be made of the fruit), in the fourth year the fruit was to "be holy to praise the Lord with," and in the fifth the planter might take the fruit for himself. So accordingly in Deuteronomy 20:6 we have, as one of the laws affecting war, that if a man had planted a vineyard and had not made it common--the same word as that used here--i.e., had not got beyond the fixed period of consecration, he might be exempted from military service, lest he should die and another eat of it. Compare also Deuteronomy 28:30, where the English "gather" answers, as the marginal reading shows, to the same verb. What is meant here, therefore, is, in contrast with the chances and changes of a time of war, that the planters of the vineyard should not be disturbed in their possession of it. They should not plant, and another eat thereof. (Comp. Isaiah 65:22; Deuteronomy 28:30.)

Verse 5. - The mountains of Samaria. "Samaria" is used, equally with Ephraim, for the northern kingdom. Shall eat them as common things; rather, shall enjoy the fruit. The word, however, literally means shall profane them. The more common phrase, "shall eat the fruit," occurs in Isaiah 65:21, where the same promise is given. The law was that newly planted fruit trees should be left alone for three years; that in the fourth year their fruit should be consecrated to God; and that in the fifth year their fruit might be "profaned," i.e. devoted to ordinary uses (comp. Deuteronomy 20:6; Deuteronomy 28:30).
