Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 36:38

_ _ As the holy flock — the great flock of choice animals for sacrifice, brought up to Jerusalem at the three great yearly festivals, the passover, pentecost, and feast of the tabernacles.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 36:25-38.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 36:38

As the holy flock — Flocks designed to holy uses. In her solemn feasts — These flocks were for quality, the best of all; and for numbers, very great, on the solemn feasts. Thus shall men multiply, and fill the cities of replanted Judea. And the increase of the numbers of men is then honourable, when they are all dedicated to God as a holy flock, to be presented to him for living sacrifices. Crowds are a lovely sight in God's temple.
