Later text

Ezekiel 36:23BSB

I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes.

Earlier text

Psalm 106:47BSB

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.

Significance

Both Ezekiel 36:23-24 and Psalm 106:47 express the hope that God will gather (קָבַץ, qavats) Israel from among the nations so that His holy name will be sanctified. Psalm 106:47 prays "Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name (שֵׁם קָדְשְׁךָ, shem qodshekha)," while Ezekiel 36:23 declares God will "sanctify My great name" (וְקִדַּשְׁתִּי אֶת־שְׁמִי הַגָּדוֹל, veqiddashti et-shemi haggadol) by gathering Israel from the nations. The psalmist's prayer is answered in Ezekiel's prophecy: God's motive for regathering is not Israel's merit but the vindication of His own name profaned among the nations through Israel's exile.
