John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:1-38

The Land of Israel in the FutureEzekiel 35:0 is an introduction to Ezekiel 36:0, the connexion being shown by Ezekiel 36:5. The claim of Edom to the land having been repudiated (Ezekiel 35:0), its reoccupation by Israel is promised (Eze 36:1-15), and the reason of the restoration is explained (Eze 36:16-38).(a) The Punishment of Edom's Presumption (Ezekiel 35:0)Edom has already been included by Ezekiel among the nations whose humiliation would prepare the way for the restoration of Israel (Eze... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 36:3

(3) In the lips of talkers, and are an infamy.—A phrase equivalent to a by-word and a reproach. (Comp. Deuteronomy 28:37; 1 Kings 9:7, &c.) In the previous clause the words, “have swallowed you up,” should rather be “pant for you,” the word being taken from the snuffing and panting of wild beasts. It was after this fashion that “the residue of the heathen,” all those whom the conquests of Nebuchadnezzar had yet left, panted for the possession of the lands of Israel. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 36:1-38

The Outlook of the Optimist Ezekiel 36:11 To this doctrine which our text embodies might be given the name of prophetic optimism. There is an optimism that is temperamental. And then there is a very shallow optimism that is happy because it. is half blind. I need hardly tell you that prophetic optimism is never based upon deliberate ignorance. It is based on the fact that underneath all change are the arms of the everlasting God. I. This same feature this strong and virile optimism is found in... 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. In the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Ezekiel 36:1-38

Ezekiel 36:1-38 . With this chapter the great prophetic utterances of Ezekiel begin concerning the future restoration and blessing of Israel. From here on to the end of the book, all is still unfulfilled, nor can it be fulfilled until the Lord Jesus Christ comes again and is enthroned as King. The first seven verses (Ezekiel 36:1-7 )announce once more the future judgment of Israel’s enemies. Then comes the promised return to the land Ezekiel 36:8-15 . The mountains of Israel, barren so long,... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Ezekiel 36:3

36:3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession to the rest of the nations, and ye are taken up in the lips of {c} talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people:(c) You are made a matter of talk and derision to all the world. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

BROKEN SILENCE Ezekiel’s commission to his own countrymen is now renewed (Ezekiel 33:21-22 ), and evidences a new tone. “Heretofore his functions had been chiefly threatening, but now the evil having reached its worst in the overthrow of Jerusalem, the consolatory element preponderates.” (See Ezekiel 22:11 .) Ezekiel 33:23-29 of the same chapter, have reference to the handful left in Jerusalem after the siege, the best commentary on which is Jeremiah 40-42.Ezekiel 33:30; Ezekiel 33:30 to the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Ezekiel 36:1-38

Mount Seir Ezekiel 35:0 , Ezekiel 36:0 Mount Seir represents Edom; Edom represents Esau. Idumea and Edom, found in this chapter, are one and the same, to all practical intents. Edom was the enemy of Israel: the record of their associations is a record of hatred and blood. We have in the third verse what may be termed the severe aspect of God. Behold the goodness and the severity of God! We would gladly curtain off the frowning countenance, and ignore it, and say, God is love; his mercy... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-15

This is a most solemn and striking Sermon of the Prophet. Surely it carries with it decisive testimonies under what gracious influence it was delivered. It appears, that in consequence of the Lord's chastening his people the enemy triumphed: Aha, aha, so would we have it! But, saith the Lord, have they by their wiles tempted you to evil, and now do they triumph over you for this shall not be. And then follows a string of the most blessed promises. Reader! do not overlook the personal interest... read more
