Commentary
6 notes on this verseI will take you from among the heathen - This does not relate to the restoration from Babylon merely. The Jews are at this day scattered in all Heathen, Mohammedan, and Christian countries. From these they are to be gathered, and brought to repossess their own land.
This site's exposition
gather you out of all the countries
on Ezekiel 36:24-26
The text gives land, cleansing and inward change in order: regathering from the nations, then a washing, “I will also sprinkle clean water on you”. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you”, replacing the “heart of stone” with “a heart of flesh”.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Verse 16 and following) And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, the house of Israel have dwelt (or dwells) in their own land, and they have defiled it with their ways and their idols: according to the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity, their way has become before me.
The Puritans and the Awakening3 voices
But, one way or other, God will make all his favourites to know and own that it is his grace, and not their goodness, his mercy, and not their merit, that made them so; and that therefore not unto them, not unto them, but unto him, is all the glory due. (2.) They must repent of the sin of their own evil ways.
For I will take you from among the Heathen,....
That he would sanctify them, by giving them his grace and fitting them for his service; and this for his own name's sake and in answer to their prayers,
