Ezekiel 37:26 Summary
[Ezekiel 37:26 is a beautiful promise from God that He will make a covenant of peace with His people, which means that He will always be with them and provide for them (as seen in Jeremiah 31:33). This covenant of peace is everlasting, which means that it will never end, and God will always be faithful to His people (as seen in Deuteronomy 7:9). God also promises to set His sanctuary among His people forever, which means that He will always be present with them and guide them (as seen in Psalm 23:4).]

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 37:26
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them,.... So the covenant of grace is called, Isaiah 54:10, one principal article of which is peace and reconciliation made between God and his people by
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 37:26
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:26
I will make; as it was my kindness to your fathers to give them, so shall it be to you to give you, my blessings on the sure and inviolable security of a covenant. A covenant of peace; comprehending all blessings that may give a people content, and render them happy; peace with God in heaven? peace in your conscience with yourselves, with your brethren in the church, with the beasts of the field, and with your enemies, who shall for fear, though not of love, keep peace with you, while your ways please your God. An everlasting covenant; the spiritual part is absolutely endless, the external part shall be for a long time, as it is always to be interpreted where temporals seem promised for ever. My sanctuary; both temple and worship; not such as is typical of the Messiah to come, but such as may assert he is come, such as bring to the knowledge, love, and obedience of him. I will set up a spiritually glorious temple and worship amidst you. For evermore; never to be altered or abolished on earth, but to be consummated in heaven.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:26
Ezekiel 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.Ver. 26. Moreover, &c.] See Ezekiel 34:25. And it shall be an everlasting covenant with them.] With all the Israel of God. And I will place them,] sc., In the Holy Land, saith Piscator; or else I understand not what this word "place them," or give them, meaneth. And will set my sanctuary in the midst of them,] i.e., I will indwell in them, and walk in them, &c. The Jews pray earnestly for the rebuilding of their material temple. Pray we as hard for the building up of the mystical temple.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:26
(26) Multiply them.—In accordance with what has gone before, comes this promise of the great increase of the spiritual Israel. Even John the Baptist had said, “God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham”; but our Lord more emphatically taught that the true children of Abraham were those who followed Him (John 8:39, &c.); while His Apostle St. Paul explains repeatedly, and at length, that Abraham was the father of all those who walk in his faith, whether they be of the circumcision or the uncircumcision (Romans 4:12, &c.); and again, “that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham” (Galatians 3:7). Thus was fulfilled the promise that he should be “the father of many nations” (Genesis 17:5, interpreted in Romans 4:17), and in the same way also was to be fulfilled the present promise of the multiplication of the seed of Israel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:26
Verse 26. Covenant of peace] See this explained Ezekiel 34:25.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 37:26
26. a covenant of peace] Cf. Ezekiel 36:25; Isaiah 55:3; Jeremiah 32:40. my sanctuary] The name given by the prophet to the temple as the dwelling place of Jehovah (Ezekiel 37:27) and specially sanctified or made holy by his presence.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:26
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”
