Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 36:20-21
Their dispersion made Yahweh look impotent since the nations concluded that He could not keep them safe in His land. The Lord had risked His reputation by driving Israel out of the land, but He cared about His reputation, which the Israelites had made common. We need to remember that how Christians represent God by our words and deeds likewise concerns Him (cf. Matthew 6:9; Luke 11:2)."Israel was guilty of two great sins, the first of which was polluting God’s land (Ezekiel 36:16-19)."Their... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38
JEHOVAH’S LANDEzekiel 35:1-15; Ezekiel 36:1-38THE teaching of this important passage turns on certain ideas regarding the land of Canaan which enter very deeply into the religion of Israel. These ideas are no doubt familiar in a general way to all thoughtful readers of the Old Testament; but their full import is scarcely realised until we understand that they are not peculiar to the Bible, but form part of the stock of religious conceptions common to Israel and its heathen neighbours.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:16-38
