The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:16-20

That Israel's restoration should not be brought about on account of Israel's merit, the prophet shows by briefly rehearsing the story of Israel's demerit, as the reason of her exile. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:16-21

God's Name and ours. The most striking thought contained in these words is God's regard for the honor of his own Name. But there are two truths which claim attention. I. TWO THINGS WHICH INCUR HIS HIGH DISPLEASURE . The pouring out of his "fury" is, of course, language which is accommodated to our human feelings; but it speaks of the Divine displeasure existing in a very high degree; and the two evils which excite it are: 1. Perverted piety; the giving to another... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:16-32

A vision of the true golden age. Up to this point God had been revealing more clearly his active righteousness to Israel; and this with a view to arouse their drugged and drowsy consciences. The equity and justice of his scepter had been vividly portrayed. The keen edge of his judicial sword had been felt. Some movements of better feeling in the exiles were apparent. And now God hastens to foster penitential sentiments with a promise of generous kindness. Further revelations of his great... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:17

Their way was before me . Their ways and doings, i.e. their violent deeds and idolatrous practices ( Ezekiel 36:18 ), were as morally loathsome in Jehovah's sight as the uncleanness of a woman in her separation was materially disgusting. The comparison may have been derived from Isaiah 64:6 , but was as likely to have been original, seeing Ezekiel was a priest-prophet, to whom the details of the Levitical Law must have been familiar (comp. Ezekiel 18:6 ; Le 15:19). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:19

According to their way and according to their doings I judged them. The language hints at a correspondence between the punishment and the crime. As a woman in her separation was not only defiled, but separated from the congregation Le 15:19), so Israel, having defiled both herself and her land, required to be removed from it (Le Ezekiel 18:28 ). And she was. Jehovah scattered her among the heathen and dispersed her through the countries. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:20

They profaned my holy Name ; or, the name of my holiness . According to Kliefoth, the subject of the verb is "the heathen," but expositors generally regard it as "the house of Israel" of Ezekiel 36:17 . Plumptre thinks that "while grammatically the words may refer to either the heathen or the exiles of Israel, possibly the sentence was purposely left vague, so as to describe the fact in which both were sharers," and cites in support of this view similar constructions in Isaiah 55:5 ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:20-24

Profanation and pity. The conjunction is somewhat singular. Israel has profaned God's Name. Upon this suggestion the Lord, pitying his own Name, resolves to sanctify it, and to this end, and not for Israel's deserts, succors and restores his people. The several steps in this progress of thought should be attentively traced. I. THE ISRAELITES HAVE PROFANED GOD 'S NAME AMONG THE HEATHEN . They are universally known as the people of Jehovah. When exiled from their land,... read more

The defilement of the people described in order to its removal.Ezekiel 36:20They profaned my holy name - Caused it to be dishonored by the pagan who said in scorn, “This is the people of God.” The pagan, seeing the miserable state of the exiles, fancied that Yahweh was no more than a national god, powerless to protect his subjects. read more

Ezekiel 36:17-19. When the house of Israel dwelt in their own land In fulness of bread, ease, and security, as they did in days past; they defiled it Rendered it abominable before God, and uncomfortable to themselves; by their own way and by their doings By the way of their own choice, their wicked way, forsaking my law, despising my counsel, deserting my worship and temple; and by their unholy conversation and unrighteous practices. Their way was before me as the uncleanness of a... read more

Ezekiel 36:20. When they entered unto the heathen, they profaned my holy name 1st, By their evil practices they brought a scandal on God’s name, and gave occasion to the heathen to say, See what profligate wretches these are, who call themselves Jehovah’s peculiar people; judge what sort of a God he is who has such worshippers. The Jews were no credit to their profession wherever they went; but, on the contrary, a reproach to it, and the name of God and his holy religion was blasphemed... read more
