Yehezkiel 18:31
Konteks18:31 Throw away all your sins you have committed and fashion yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! 1 Why should you die, O house of Israel?
Yehezkiel 36:26
Konteks36:26 I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone 2 from your body and give you a heart of flesh. 3
[18:31] 1 sn In Ezek 11:19, 36:26 the new heart and new spirit are promised as future blessings.
[36:26] 2 sn That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is stubborn and unresponsive (see 1 Sam 25:37). In Rabbinic literature a “stone” was associated with an evil inclination (b. Sukkah 52a).
[36:26] 3 sn That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is responsive and obedient to God.
