Rabbi Simon ben Yohai deduced from the words "the Lord your God will return your captivity" in that the Shechinah went with the Israelites to every place to which they were exiled, and will be with them when they are redeemed in the future. By way of explanation, the Baraita noted that did not say "and [God shall bring back" but "and shall return," teaching that God will return with the Israelites from their places of exile. Rabbi Simon concluded that thus showed how beloved the Children of Israel are in God's sight.
