Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:24

I will take you from among the heathen - This does not relate to the restoration from Babylon merely. The Jews are at this day scattered in all Heathen, Mohammedan, and Christian countries. From these they are to be gathered, and brought to repossess their own land. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:25

Then - At the time of this great restoration - will I sprinkle clean water upon you - the truly cleansing water; the influences of the Holy Spirit typified by water, whose property it is to cleanse, whiten, purify, refresh, render healthy and fruitful. From all your filthiness - From every sort of external and internal abomination and pollution. And from all your idols - False gods, false worship, false opinions, and false hopes. Will I cleanse you - Entirely separate you. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:26

A new heart also will I give you - I will change the whole of your infected nature; and give you new appetites, new passions; or, at least, the old ones purified and refined. The heart is generally understood to mean all the affections and passions. And a new spirit will I put within you - I will renew your minds, also enlighten your understanding, correct your judgment, and refine your will, so that you shall have a new spirit to actuate your new heart. I will take away the stony... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:27

And I will put my Spirit within you - To keep the heart of flesh alive, the feeling heart still sensible, the loving heart still happy. I will put my Spirit, the great principle of light, life, and love, within you, to actuate the new spirit, and to influence the new affections and passions; that the animal spirit may not become brutish, that the mental powers become not foolish. I will put my Spirit within you, so that as the new spirit may influence the new heart, so will My Spirit... read more

Ye shall be my people - Wholly given up to me in body, soul, and spirit. And I will be your God - To fill you with love, joy, peace, meekness, gentleness, longsuffering, fidelity and goodness, to occupy your whole soul, and gratify your every desire. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

The present chapter is entirely devoted to the consolation of Israel, though its parts are derived from two separate "words" of Jehovah. Ezekiel 36:1-15 belong to the "word" which opened with the first verse of the preceding chapter; Ezekiel 36:16 begins another "word," which only closes at Ezekiel 37:14 . The subject of the first part is the comfort offered to Israel in the destruction threatened against the heathen, and in the blessings promised to her land and people. 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 36:20-24

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 Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:21-24

God saving for his own Name's sake. I. A PRINCIPLE OF DIVINE ACTION . We are here admitted to the secret council-chamber of heaven. The inner motive of God's activity is revealed to us. He shows on what grounds he proceeds in redeeming man. Man is redeemed for the sake of God's Name, and not on account of any human deserts and claims. 1. God ' s faithfulness . A person's good name is associated with his keeping his word. If a man has put his name to a document, he must... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 36:22

Not for your sakes … but for mine holy Name's sake . Thus Jehovah repudiates the claim of merit on Israel's part (comp. Ezekiel 36:32 ); and if Israel had no claim on Jehovah for deliverance from the Babylonish exile any more than she had at first to be put in possession of Canaan ( Deuteronomy 9:6 ), much less has fallen man a claim on God for salvation from the condemnation and dominion of sin ( Romans 11:6 ; Ephesians 2:8-10 ). As the essential holiness and righteousness of God... read more
