Ezekiel 37:25 Summary

This verse promises that God's people will live in the land that He gave to Jacob, where they will be safe and happy with their families.

This is a wonderful picture of the future that God has planned for His people, and it is based on His faithful promises in the Bible, such as Jeremiah 31:17 and Ezekiel 34:25-31. As we look forward to this future, we can trust in God's love and care for us, and live our lives in obedience to Him, just like we are told to do in Romans 12:1-2.

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 37:25

And they shall dwell in the land which I have given to Jacob my servant,.... Abraham and Isaac are not mentioned, as Kimchi observes, because they had other children, who did not inherit the land;

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 37:25

And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:25

They; the ten tribes and the two tribes. That I have given: see . Your fathers, Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, whose memory you venerate, and greatly affect to be heirs more of their lands and houses than of their virtues and piety. Their children’ s children for ever: if this prophecy or promise be to be understood with the precedent verses in the letter of it, and not mystically and only spiritually, I doubt not but to the end of the world, till Christ’ s coming to judgment, the Jews converted to Christ, and professing the gospel, shall, they and their seed after them, inherit this land of Canaan in much peace and glory. But I speak on supposition, not asserting any thing herein. My servant David; typically understood it asserts the everlasting kingdom of our Messiah, and the everlasting happiness of all the faithful subjects of this King: see ,24.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:25

Ezekiel 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children’ s children for ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.Ver. 25. And they shall dwell in the land.] So they did for six hundred years, or nearly so; and in heaven, whereof Canaan was a type, they shall live and reign for ever.

Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:25

(25) For ever.—Strong emphasis is placed upon this declaration by its frequent repetition. In this verse, the occupancy of the land is to be for ever, and the kingship of David is to be for ever; and in Ezekiel 37:26; Ezekiel 37:28 the sanctuary is to be “in the midst of them for evermore,” and the covenant of peace is to be “an everlasting covenant.” Such promises are taken up continually in the New Testament, and explained of the everlasting reign of the King of kings, the Good Shepherd, over His people, and of the Temple of the Holy Ghost in the heart of the believer.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:25

Verse 25. The land that I have given unto Jacob my servant] Jacob means here the twelve tribes; and the land given to them was the whole land of Palestine; consequently, the promise states that, when they return, they are to possess the whole of the Promised Land.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 37:25

25. Cf. Ezekiel 36:28. Jacob my servant] Jacob is here the patriarch himself, not as in Isaiah 40 seq. a name for the people. He is referred to as the ancestor cf Israel in Hosea 12:12, as Abraham in Isaiah 29:22. Cf. ch. Ezekiel 33:24; Isaiah 41:8; Isaiah 51:2; Isaiah 63:16. their prince for ever] It is not at all probable that “David my servant” means either the Davidic house or a line of kings. But possibly the point whether the king would be one person living for ever is not before the prophet’s mind. It is the quality of the new people and the new ruler that he specially refers to; the point whether generation after generation of the people shall dwell in the land and prince succeed prince is hardly in his mind. The unity of the people and the unity of the ruler, one such as David; the character of the people (Ezekiel 37:24) and their perpetual possession of the land—these are the elements of the prophet’s idea, and further questions are not touched. In Ezekiel 43:7, Ezekiel 45:8, a succession of princes appears presupposed, but the idea hardly belongs to the present passage.

Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:25

23-28. The new Israel will not be defiled by idolatry, but God will cleanse them and save them from the temptations connected with their ancient dwelling places, and “from all their backslidings”
