Ezekiel - ch 37 v 1 - 20
- The hand of Yahweh was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
- He caused me to pass by them all around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and behold, they were very dry.
- He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know.
- Again he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.
- Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.
- I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
- So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
- I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
- Then said he to me, Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.
- So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
- Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.
- Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
- You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
- I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it, says Yahweh.
- The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,
- You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
- and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
- When the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
- tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
- The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
