While reviewing the mid-20th century dispensational hermeneutic in reference to restoration of Israel, reading Ezekiel 37-39 I noticed that Charles L. Feinberg and Ralph H. Alexander don’t appear to be in total agreement on the “Peace Covenant” even though they shared a similar hermeneutical framework and both wrote commentaries on Ezekiel in the same era. Charles L. Feinberg: “The **covenant of peace** is none other than the new covenant of Jeremiah 31:31-34” (The Prophecy of Ezekiel, 1969, p216). Ralph H. Alexander’s treatment is more difficult to summarize. “The **peace covenant** forms the skeletal outline of the following night messages of Ezekiel. Chapters 35-39 …” “A vital concern of this **covenant of peace** is the restoration of the land of Israel to the people of Israel.” “… the **covenant of peace explains** how the land will be restored to Israel …” (R.H. Alexander 1976:108-109). Alexander makes the covenant of peace a significant *structural* feature of his exegesis. More recently D.I. Block sees the **covenant of peace** as a unilateral (Ezekiel, NICOT, 1998, p303) and eternal (ibid. p419) covenant. “… two principal motifs … the appointment of David as under-shepherd of Yahweh’s flock and the **covenant of peace**, are fundamental to the Jewish messianism that flourished in the intertestamental period.” (ibid. p.296). “ … ‘covenant of peace’ … a state of harmony … among all participants in the divine-human-territorial relationships. … restoration of the people to their hereditary homeland.” (ibid. p.422). These are not answers, just highlighting the significance of the question. *What is the Covenant of Peace in Ezekiel?* [37]: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2037:25-27&version=NRSVACE [34]: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel%2034:24-26&version=NRSVA
