EZEKIEL—NOTE ON Ezekiel 36:22 This passage is often compared to Jeremiah’s “new covenant” text (Jeremiah 31:31). The structure of this passage reinforces its message. The outer verses relate the responses of God (Ezekiel 36:22) and people (vv. Ezekiel 36:31). Nested within the next layer are the return and purification brought about in renewal (vv. Ezekiel 36:24, Ezekiel 36:28). At the heart of the passage is the divine gift of the new heart and spirit, which enables a correct response (vv. Ezekiel 36:26).
