Комментарий к Йехезкэля 22:19

Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I gather you together¬ – He gathered them together in order to send them into exile, because through this the good among them will be sorted out and be a remnant and a remainder in their exile, as it says “The Lord showed me two pots of figs…” (Jeremiah 24:1) It explains there that the exile of Yochanya was like good figs, because He sent them to Babylon for the good as a saved remnant, separating them from the bad figs which remained behind and were a curse.
