The Hebrew root for "give" is "נָתַן" (natan), which implies a generous and intentional act of bestowal. In the context of Ezekiel, God is the active agent, emphasizing His sovereignty and grace. This promise is not contingent on human action but is a gift from God, highlighting His desire to restore and renew His people.<p><b>a new heart</b><br />The "heart" in Hebrew, "לֵב" (lev), often represents the center of human will, emotions, and intellect. A "new heart" suggests a transformation at the deepest level of one's being. Historically, Israel had strayed from God, and this promise indicates a profound internal change, moving from rebellion to obedience. The "new heart" is symbolic of regeneration and renewal, a theme echoed in the New Testament with the concept of being "born again" (<a href="/john/3-3.htm">John 3:3</a>).<p><b>and put a new spirit within you</b><br />The "spirit" in Hebrew, "רוּחַ" (ruach), can mean breath, wind, or spirit, indicating life and vitality. A "new spirit" suggests a revitalization and empowerment by God. This phrase complements the "new heart," indicating not just a change in disposition but an infusion of divine life and energy. It points to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, a promise fulfilled in the New Covenant through Christ (<a href="/acts/2-4.htm">Acts 2:4</a>).<p><b>I will remove your heart of stone</b><br />A "heart of stone" symbolizes stubbornness, insensitivity, and resistance to God's will. In the ancient Near Eastern context, stone was often associated with idols and hardness. This metaphor indicates a spiritual condition that is unyielding and unresponsive. God's promise to "remove" this heart signifies His power to overcome human obstinacy and sin, offering hope for transformation and redemption.<p><b>and give you a heart of flesh</b><br />A "heart of flesh" contrasts sharply with a "heart of stone." Flesh, in this context, implies softness, responsiveness, and life. The Hebrew word "בָּשָׂר" (basar) for flesh suggests something living and dynamic. This transformation indicates a heart that is sensitive to God's voice and willing to follow His commands. It reflects the intimate relationship God desires with His people, one characterized by love, obedience, and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/36.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(26) <span class= "bld">A new heart.--</span>Comp. <a href="/context/ezekiel/11-18.htm" title="And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from there.">Ezekiel 11:18-20</a>, where the same promise is given, although somewhat less fully than here.

This antinomy frequently occurs in Scripture, which never shrinks from holding man responsible for the production of that, as e.g. faith, for which he is incompetent without the help of Divine grace. Besides the cleansing of her guilt and her restitution in consequence to Jehovah's favor, Israel is promised such an inward renovation of her moral and spiritual disposition as to secure that she shall in future adhere to the worship and service of Jehovah.
