Ezekiel 36:27-28

Context
36:27 I will put my Spirit within you; 1  I will take the initiative and you will obey my statutes 2  and carefully observe my regulations. 3  36:28 Then you will live in the land I gave to your fathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 4 

1 tn Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.

2 tn Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun.

3 tn Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31-34 is parallel to this passage.

4 sn This promise reflects the ancient covenantal ideal (see Exod 6:7).
