Significance: Ezekiel 36:23-24 fulfills the petition of Psalm 106:47 by promising that God will gather Israel from among the nations and bring them into their own land, sanctifying His great name in the process. Both texts use the verb קָבַץ (qavats, "to gather") and connect the ingathering to the honor of God's name (שֵׁם, shem). Psalm 106 closes with this prayer after a lengthy recitation of Israel's sins and God's merciful interventions; Ezekiel 36 provides the definitive divine answer. The progression from prayer to prophetic promise demonstrates that God's restoration is motivated by His own name's reputation among the nations, not by Israel's repentance, which comes as a result of restoration rather than its precondition (36:25-27).
