Ezekiel 37:27

My tabernacle also And my dwelling place … and I will be. The words repeat the idea in Ezekiel 37:26. The last words of the Book are, "The Lord is there." The phrase withthem, i.e. by or beside them (cf. Ezekiel 2:6), might mean overthem, reference being to the situation of the temple, high above the city (Ezekiel 40:2), but this has little probability. It would be more natural to take overin the ideal sense of a "protection" to them. The sanctuary, however, does not protect, it sanctifies, although being sanctified Jehovah will protect them (ch. 38 39). The expression "I will be their God" varies the idea of his dwelling place being with them, Ezekiel 11:20; Ezekiel 14:11; Ezekiel 36:28.
