Ezekiel 20:41 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The same gracious promise for substance repeated. Sweet savour; incense of a pure and obedient heart. From the people; from Babylon, and the parts of that kingdom, where they had been scattered these seventy years. Gather you, by Cyrus's proclamation, and my secret impulse on the spirits of the faithful and constant Jews, while apostates stay behind. Sanctified; magnified and praised for the good I do to my people, and on occasion of their love, fear, and obedience to me. Before the heathen; heathens shall see, and say, as Psalms 126:2, God hath done great things for them; their God is the great, the merciful, and faithful God. who hath remembered his servants.

Ezekiel 20:41

41 I will accept you with your sweetg savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
