Ezekiel 36:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 36:21

19 So I ^ascattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the countries; I judged them ^baccording to their ways and their deeds.

20 When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they ^aprofaned My holy name—when they said of them, ‘These are the people of the Lord, and yet they have gone out of His land.’

21 But I had concern ^afor My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations wherever they went.

22 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, ^abut for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went.

23 And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am ^ahallowed in you before their eyes.

24 For ^aI will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land.
