Ezekiel 36:26

26 I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone ^{▼▼ That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is stubborn and unresponsive (see 1 Sam 25:37).

Sukkah 52a).} from your body and give you a heart of flesh. ^{▼▼ That is, a heart which symbolizes a will that is responsive and obedient to God.}
