Study note

Setting — God addresses the revived people in the valley vision, immediately following the declaration that He will open graves and bring them up (Ezekiel 37:13).

The words — The Hebrew וְנָתַתִּי רוּחִי (ve./na.ta.Ti ru.Ch/i) literally means "and I will put my spirit," while וְהִנַּחְתִּי (ve./hi.nach.Ti) means "and I will settle" the people upon their own land (אַדְמַתְכֶם).

The thread — The formula to place God's Spirit within a people appears in Ezekiel 36:27, Joel 2:28 extends the Spirit's outpouring to all people, and Ezekiel 11:19 describes the Lord giving a new spirit within them.

Why it lands — The text states that divine action will restore life and secure the people in their land so they will know the LORD has spoken and fulfilled His word. It requires the reader to recognize that resurrection and territorial settlement are entirely God's work.

And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord.
