In the context of Ezekiel, this is a prophetic message about the Israelites' return from exile. The act of remembering is significant in the Hebrew tradition, often associated with repentance and turning back to God (<a href="/deuteronomy/30.htm">Deuteronomy 30:1-3</a>). It suggests a deep introspection and acknowledgment of past sins.<p><b>and all the deeds with which you have defiled yourselves,</b><br>The deeds refer to the idolatry and disobedience that led to Israel's exile. Defilement in the Old Testament often relates to ritual impurity and moral corruption (<a href="/leviticus/18-24.htm">Leviticus 18:24-30</a>). This phrase underscores the gravity of their actions against God's covenant. The historical context includes the worship of foreign gods and the adoption of pagan practices, which were prevalent in Israel before the Babylonian exile.<p><b>and you will loathe yourselves</b><br>This self-loathing is a profound expression of remorse and contrition. It reflects a genuine repentance, where the Israelites not only recognize their sins but also feel deep sorrow for them. This is consistent with the biblical theme of godly sorrow leading to repentance (<a href="/2_corinthians/7-10.htm">2 Corinthians 7:10</a>). The cultural context of the time viewed such self-reflection as necessary for restoration and reconciliation with God.<p><b>for all the evils you have done.</b><br>The evils refer to the collective sins of the nation, including idolatry, injustice, and breaking the covenant with God. This acknowledgment is crucial for the process of redemption and restoration. Theologically, it points to the need for atonement and the hope of forgiveness, which is ultimately fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ (<a href="/hebrews/9-14.htm">Hebrews 9:14</a>).

The whole evil past is still remembered after repentance and forgiveness. There is no water of Lethe, such as the Greeks fabled, such as Dante dreamt of as the condition of entering Paradise ('Purg.,' 31:94-105). The self-loathing and humility which grow out of that memory, the acceptance of all the punishment of the past as less than had been deserved, - these are the conditions and safeguards of the new blessedness. Ezekiel teaches us, <span class="accented">i</span>.<span class="accented">e.</span>, that it is possible to conceive of an eternal punishment, the punishment of memory, shame, self-loathing, as compatible with eternal life. So (in ver. 44) the prophet ends what is perhaps, the profoundest and the noblest of his discourses, his "vindication of the ways of God to man." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/20-43.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">There</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׁ֗ם</span> <span class="translit">(šām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8033.htm">Strong's 8033: </a> </span><span class="str2">There, then, thither</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you will remember</span><br /><span class="heb">וּזְכַרְתֶּם־</span> <span class="translit">(ū·zə·ḵar·tem-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb -
