Berean Study Bible

I will put My Spirit in you
The phrase "I will put My Spirit in you" is a profound promise of divine indwelling. The Hebrew word for "Spirit" is "Ruach," which can mean breath, wind, or spirit. This indicates a life-giving force, reminiscent of God's breath in Genesis 2:7, where He breathes life into Adam. In the context of Ezekiel, this promise signifies a spiritual revival and renewal for the people of Israel. It is a foretelling of the New Covenant, where the Holy Spirit would dwell within believers, empowering them to live according to God's will. This indwelling is not just a temporary visitation but a permanent residence, signifying a deep, transformative relationship with God.

and you will live
The phrase "and you will live" speaks to the restoration and revitalization of the people. In the immediate context, it refers to the physical and spiritual revival of Israel, which had been in exile and despair. Historically, this promise was fulfilled when the Israelites returned to their homeland. Spiritually, it points to the abundant life promised in Christ (John 10:10), where believers are brought from spiritual death to life through the Holy Spirit. This life is not merely existence but a vibrant, purposeful life in communion with God.

and I will settle you in your own land
The promise "and I will settle you in your own land" is a reassurance of God's faithfulness to His covenant with Israel. The Hebrew word for "settle" is "nuwach," which implies rest and security. This promise was historically fulfilled when the Israelites returned from Babylonian exile. It also foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment in the eschatological hope of a new heaven and new earth, where God's people will dwell securely with Him forever. This settling is not just a physical return but a spiritual restoration to a place of peace and blessing.

Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken
The phrase "Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken" emphasizes the certainty and authority of God's word. The Hebrew word for "know" is "yada," which implies an intimate, experiential knowledge. This knowledge comes from witnessing the fulfillment of God's promises, reinforcing faith and trust in His sovereignty. It is a call to recognize God's hand in history and in personal lives, affirming that His declarations are true and reliable.

and I will do it, declares the LORD
The concluding phrase "and I will do it, declares the LORD" underscores God's commitment and power to fulfill His promises. The repetition of "declares the LORD" serves as a divine seal, assuring that what God has spoken will indeed come to pass. This assurance is rooted in God's unchanging nature and His faithfulness to His word. For believers, it is a reminder that God's promises are not dependent on human ability but on His omnipotent will, providing hope and confidence in His divine plan.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(14) Put my spirit in you.--Here, as throughout this series of prophecies, the moral resurrection of the people and their restoration to their own land are intimately associated together. The former was at once the necessary condition of the latter, and would also be its consequence in a still higher development. Compare a similar association of the spiritual with the literal resurrection in John 5:21-29.

Ezekiel 37:15-28 constitute another prophecy, which probably was given very soon after the former, since there is a close connection between the two. In the former, under the figure of the revival of the dry bones, God had set forth His power to accomplish the promise He made of the spiritual resurrection of Israel; in the latter. He adds to this the specific declaration of what had been before only implied, that the two long-severed nations of Israel shall be re-united and prosperous under the rule of the future David, while He Himself will dwell among them, and they shall be obedient to Him. These promises prepare the way for the prophecy of the great and final attack of the enemies of the Church (Ezekiel 38, 39) and their overthrow by the power of God. The promise of this prophecy is first set forth by a symbolic action (Ezekiel 37:15-17), which is then to be explained to the people (Ezekiel 37:18-20), as in the case of the vision (Ezekiel 37:11), and then the promises of blessing follow.
