What Does Ezekiel 36:37 Mean?
The restored relationship includes prayer and intercession. Israel will 'inquire' of God, asking His will and seeking His face. This is the fruit of the new heart and the indwelling Spirit—a people who naturally turn to God. The phrase 'for this' may indicate that God will grant this multiplication in response to their prayers.
The multiplication 'like a flock' suggests both abundance and shepherding care. As a shepherd increases his flock through careful stewardship, God will multiply the people of Israel with both generosity and divine protection.
