Tafsiran Yehezkiel 36:22: Tze'enah Ure'enah & Rashi

לָכֵ֞ן אֱמֹ֣ר לְבֵֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֔ה לֹ֧א לְמַעַנְכֶ֛ם אֲנִ֥י עֹשֶׂ֖ה בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֤י אִם־לְשֵׁם־קָדְשִׁי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר חִלַּלְתֶּ֔ם בַּגּוֹיִ֖ם אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֥אתֶם שָֽׁם׃

Karena itu, katakanlah kepada kaum Israel: Beginilah firman Tuhan Yang Mahakekal: Bukan demi kalian Aku bertindak, hai kaum Israel, melainkan demi nama-Ku yang kudus, yang telah kalian nodai di antara bangsa-bangsa ke mana kalian datang.

Tze'enah Ure'enah

“Therefore, say to the house of Israel” [36:22]. The Holy One said: go and say to Israel. I do not want to redeem you for your sake, but for the sake of My holy name. I want to sanctify My name that was profaned among the nations. I alone am God and I want to take you to Me from the nations and all the lands. And thus said the Holy One: if you will think, what will it help us that we will again come into the holy land when the land cannot suffer the sins. We will again be driven out. The person has an Evil Inclination, and the person must commit sins, as the verse says, “for there is not one good man on earth who does what is best and does not sin” [Ecclesiastes, 7:20]. Therefore, the verse says here, “I will sprinkle clean water upon you” [36:25]. That is to say, the Holy One says, I will sprinkle clean water to cleanse you.
