Ezekiel 36:29 - Exposition

From all your uncleannesses . The same word as in Ezekiel 36:25 , though with difference in meaning. From their uncleanness of the past they have already been saved ( Ezekiel 36:25 ); the present promise guarantees preservation against future lapsing into uncleanness, i.e. the filthiness of idol-service. "With this," writes Plumptre, "the necessity for temporal chastisements as a corrective discipline should cease, and there would be nothing to check the full outpouring of all material as well as spiritual blessings." With the phrase, I will call for the corn , compare the similar expressions in 2 Kings 8:1 ; Hosea 2:23 , etc.; Jeremiah 31:12 ; Zechariah 9:17 .
