Commentary on Ezekiel · Written before 420.

(Verse 42) When I bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I raised my hand to give to your ancestors, then you will know that I am the Lord. I will bring you into the land of Israel, the land that I raised my hand to give to your ancestors, and which they lost due to their own fault. But you, you have received it not by your own merit, but by my mercy.

Go ye, serve ye every one his idols

on Ezekiel 20:39-42

The Lord tells Israel to go and serve their idols, but he adds the one condition that still stands, pollute my holy name no more. The turn comes at mine holy mountain, where all the house of Israel is promised full acceptance, offerings, firstfruits, and holy things once again received.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

It is promised that those who preserved their integrity, and would not serve idols, in other lands, shall return to their prosperity and shall serve the true God in their own land: All of them in the land shall serve me. Note, It is the true happiness of a people, and a sure token for good to them, when there is a prevailing disposition in them to serve God.
And ye shall know that I am the Lord,....
