Ezekiel 20:11

Verse 11

11. Shall even live in them Or, shall live through them (Leviticus 18:5). Obedience to the Sinaitic law would have saved them from punishment and death (Deuteronomy 13:16-18). Obedience prolongs both the individual and national life (Deuteronomy 4:40; Deuteronomy 5:16; Amos 5:14-15; Micah 6:8; Hosea 8:3). Do the “judgments” refer to the Levitical ordinances or to the laws of justice such as are given in Ezekiel 18:5, etc.? Probably to the latter. (See Ezekiel 20:11; Ezekiel 20:21.) The ancient Chaldee paraphrase expands the last clause: “He shall live in them with eternal life” (Cowles).
