Yehezkiel 34:12
Konteks34:12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out my flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered on a cloudy, dark day. 1
Yehezkiel 37:23
Konteks37:23 They will not defile themselves with their idols, their detestable things, and all their rebellious deeds. I will save them from all their unfaithfulness 2 by which they sinned. I will purify them; they will become my people and I will become their God.
[34:12] 1 sn The imagery may reflect the overthrow of the Israelites by the Babylonians in 587/6
[37:23] 2 tc Heb “their dwellings.” The text as it stands does not make sense. Based on the LXX, a slight emendation of two vowels, including a mater, yields the reading “from their turning,” a reference here to their turning from God and deviating from his commandments. See BDB 1000 s.v. מְשׁוּבָה, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:407.
