Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:21-23

God Will Restore His Reputation By What He Will Do In Returning the People to the Land and Pouring Out His Spirit on Them (Ezekiel 36:21-38 ). “But I had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they went. Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, I do not act for your sake, O house of Israel, but for my holy name which you have profaned among the nations to which you went. And I will sanctify my great name which has been... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:16-38

Ezekiel 36:16-Zechariah : . The Cleansing and Renewing of the People.— This is a passage of peculiar interest and importance, carrying us as it does far into the mind and theology of Ezekiel. First, we are reminded that Israel’ s sins— of bloodshed (whether child sacrifice or judicial murder) and idolatry— had obliged Yahweh to drive them into exile. In this way they had “ profaned His holy name among the nations,” who, according to ancient notions, naturally regarded Him as a worthless God,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 36:21

I had pity; I spared them, who in captivity continued to sin greatly against me, and for which sins I had just cause to cut them off; but I had pity. For mine holy name; for my own sake, and for the glory of my name: had I destroyed them, the heathen would have concluded against my omnipotence and my truth. I preserved, I reduced, I re-established them for the honour of my mercy, truth, and power. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 36:1-38

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to Ezekiel 36:0 as we continue our study in this very fascinating prophecy.In chapter 36 Ezekiel is commanded to prophesy to the mountains of Israel. Now this is the second time he prophesied to the mountains of Israel. The first time was back in chapter 6, and he was prophesying the desolations that would come to the mountains of Israel and to the cities because they had built the high places on the mountains and worshipped the false images, idols, and gods. And... read more

Ezekiel 36:21-24I had pity for Mine holy name.God’s motive in salvationThere is a land lying beneath a burning sky where the fields are seldom screened by a cloud, and almost never refreshed by a shower; and yet Egypt--for it is of it I speak--is as remarkable for the fertile character of its soil as for the hoar antiquity of its history. At least, it was so in days of old, when hungry nations were fed by its harvests, and its fields were the granaries of ancient Rome. Powers so prolific Egypt... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 36:16-24

16-24. Before the captivity, Israel, because of its bloody deeds and idolatry (Ezekiel 36:18), was as unclean as a woman “in her separation” (Ezekiel 36:17, R.V.), and for this reason was separated from her beautiful land (Ezekiel 36:19; compare Leviticus 15:19; Leviticus 18:30, etc.). But instead of repenting and purifying herself, Israel excused or denied her sin (Ezekiel 2:3-5; Ezekiel 18:2), and while professing allegiance to Jehovah gave honor to idols (Ezekiel 14:7; Ezekiel 20:8;... read more
