from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Therefore: Job 35:14, Job 35:15
I will open: This is a pointed allusion to the resurrection; under which figure Isaiah - Isaiah 26:9 also describes the restoration of the house of Israel, when he says, "thy dead men shall live;" at which time their bones are said to flourish - Isaiah 66:14, or to be restored to their former strength and vigour; and, in like manner, St. Paul - Romans 11:15, expresses their conversion by "life from the dead." In the land of their captivity, they seemed as absolutely deprived of their country as persons committed to the grave are cut off from the land of the living; but when Cyrus issued his proclamation, Jehovah, as it were, opened their graves, and when he stirred up their spirits to embrace the proffered liberty, he put his Spirit within them, that they might live; and their re-establishment in their own land evinced the truth of God in the prediction, and his power in its accomplishment.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore prophesy, and say unto them,.... For their comfort, in order to revive their hope, and encourage their faith, in these distressed circumstances:
thus saith the Lord, behold, O my people: they were his people still, and he had a covenant interest in them, and they in him, though in such a low estate; and which was the ground of his care of them, and concern for them, and or doing all the good things to them after mentioned; all proceeded from his covenant, and the grace of it, and their relation to him:
I will open your graves, and cause you to come out of your graves; the cities and prisons in Chaldea and other places; where they were confined and held captives, and out of which they could no more deliver themselves than a dead man of himself can rise up out of his grave: this is both an emblem of the resurrection of the dead at the last day z, when they shall come forth out of their graves at the voice of Christ, some to the resurrection of life, and others to the resurrection of damnation; and of dead sinners, raised out of the graves of sin by the power and efficacy of the grace of God; see John 5:25:
and bring you into the land of Israel; to dwelt in it, and abide there, and be no more dispossessed of it; as they will not, any more, when once settled in it, upon their conversion in the latter day.
z To which it is applied in T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 152. 2, & Taanith, fol. 2. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 37:12. I will open your graves — Here is a pointed allusion to the general resurrection; a doctrine properly credited and understood by the Jews, and to which our Lord refers, John 5:25; John 5:28-29: "The hour is coming when they that are in their graves shall hear his voice, and come forth."
And cause you to come up out of your graves — I am determined that ye shall be restored; so that were ye even in your graves, as mankind at the general resurrection, yet my all-powerful voice shall call you forth.
