‏ Ezekiel 36:37-38

37 “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will allow the house of Israel to ask me to do this for them: ^{▼▼tn The Niphal verb may have a tolerative function here: “Again (for) this I will allow myself to be sought by the house of Israel to act for them.” Or it may be reflexive: “I will reveal myself to the house of Israel by doing this also.”} I will multiply their people like sheep. ^{▼▼sn Heb “I will multiply them like sheep, human(s).”} 38 Like the sheep for offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so the ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
