EZEKIEL 36:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land.”
But I had concern for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they came, introducing God's motivation for restoration: not primarily for Israel's sake but for the sake of His holy name, which exile profaned before the nations. This shifts the basis of restoration from Israel's merit to God's concern for His own honor.
