Footnotes

  1. 18 That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is stubborn and unresponsive (see 1 Sam 25:37). In Rabbinic literature a “stone” was associated with an evil inclination ( Sukkah 52a).
  2. 19 That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is responsive and obedient to God.
  3. 20 Or “in the midst of you.” The word “you” is plural.
  4. 21 Heb “and I will do that which in my statutes you will walk.” The awkward syntax (verb “to do, act” + accusative sign + relative clause + prepositional phrase + second person verb) is unique, though Eccl 3:14 contains a similar construction. In the last line of that verse we read that “God acts so that (relative pronoun) they fear before him.” However, unlike Ezek 36:27, the statement has no accusative sign before the relative pronoun.
  5. 22 Heb “and my laws you will guard and you will do them.” Jer 31:31–34 is parallel to this passage.
