Berean Study Bible

My dwelling place
The phrase "My dwelling place" in Ezekiel 37:27 refers to the presence of God among His people. In Hebrew, the word for dwelling place is "mishkan," which is often associated with the tabernacle, the portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their wanderings in the desert. This term signifies God's desire to be intimately present with His people, not just in a physical structure but in a relational and spiritual sense. Historically, the tabernacle and later the temple were central to Israelite worship, symbolizing God's covenant and His promise to dwell among them. This phrase foreshadows the New Testament revelation of God dwelling among His people through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

will be with them
The phrase "will be with them" emphasizes God's commitment to His people. The Hebrew verb used here is "hayah," which means "to be" or "to exist." This conveys a promise of God's continual presence and faithfulness. Throughout the Bible, God's presence is a source of comfort, guidance, and strength for His people. This assurance is foundational to the covenant relationship, where God promises never to leave nor forsake His people. In a broader scriptural context, this promise is fulfilled in the New Testament through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers, signifying God's perpetual presence.

I will be their God
"I will be their God" is a covenantal declaration that underscores the unique relationship between God and His people. This phrase is rooted in the Hebrew word "Elohim," which denotes God's power and sovereignty. It is a reaffirmation of the covenant made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, where God chose Israel as His people. This relationship is characterized by God's protection, provision, and guidance. In the New Testament, this promise extends to all who believe in Christ, signifying a personal and communal relationship with God through faith.

and they will be My people
The phrase "and they will be My people" completes the covenant formula, highlighting the reciprocal relationship between God and His people. The Hebrew word for people is "am," which implies a collective identity and belonging. This phrase signifies the identity and purpose of God's people, called to live in obedience and worship. Historically, this identity set Israel apart from other nations, as they were chosen to reflect God's character and purposes. In the New Testament, this concept is expanded to include all believers, who are called to be a holy nation and a royal priesthood, reflecting God's glory to the world.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(27) My tabernacle also.--Compare the whole promise of this verse with 2Corinthians 6:16 : "Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." This promise of "a sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore" was in type and shadow set before the eyes of the people with the restoration of the Temple of Zerubbabel; but in its reality began to be fulfilled at the incarnation of the Son of God, of whom it is said by St. John (John 1:14) that "He dwelt (literally, tabernacled) among us," and is continued by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of believers (1Corinthians 3:16; 1Corinthians 6:19); while it is to receive its final consummation in that future when the tabernacle of God shall be with men, and "the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple" of the heavenly Jerusalem (Revelation 21:3-22). See Excursus F at end of this book.
