Discovery BoxEzekiel 36:25 
Context36:25 I will sprinkle you with pure water 1 and you will be clean from all your impurities. I will purify you from all your idols.
Ezekiel 36:37
Context36:37 “This is what the sovereign Lord says: I will allow the house of Israel to ask me to do this for them: 2 I will multiply their people like sheep. 3
1 sn The Lord here uses a metaphor from the realm of ritual purification. For the use of water in ritual cleansing, see Exod 30:19-20; Lev 14:51; Num 19:18; Heb 10:22.
2 tn The Niphal verb may have a tolerative function here, “Again (for) this I will allow myself to be sought by the house of Israel to act for them.” Or it may be reflexive: “I will reveal myself to the house of Israel by doing this also.”
3 sn Heb “I will multiply them like sheep, human(s).”
