| Ezek. 37:1 |
The hand of Jehovah came upon me, and He brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. |
| Ezek. 37:2 |
And He caused me to pass all around among them, and there were very many on the surface of the valley, and they were also very dry. |
| Ezek. 37:3 |
And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, You know. |
| Ezek. 37:4 |
Then He said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. |
| Ezek. 37:5 |
Thus says the Lord Jehovah to these bones: I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. |
| Ezek. 37:6 |
And I will put sinews on you and bring flesh back on you and cover you with skin and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you will know that I am Jehovah. |
| Ezek. 37:7 |
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. |
| Ezek. 37:8 |
And I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh came back, and skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. |
| Ezek. 37:9 |
Then He said to me, Prophesy to the wind; prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live. |
| Ezek. 37:10 |
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them; and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. |
| Ezek. 37:11 |
Then He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Now they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely. |
| Ezek. 37:12 |
Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Now I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. |
| Ezek. 37:13 |
And you will know that I am Jehovah, when I open your graves and bring you up out of your graves, O My people. |
| Ezek. 37:14 |
And I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live; and I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I, Jehovah, have spoken and that I have performed [it,] declares Jehovah. |
| Ezek. 37:15 |
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying, |
| Ezek. 37:16 |
And you, son of man, take one piece of wood, and write upon it, For Judah and for the children of Israel associated with him; then take another piece of wood, and write upon it, For Joseph, the piece of wood of Ephraim, and [for] all the house of Israel associated with him; |
| Ezek. 37:17 |
And bring them together, one [side] to the other, into one piece of wood, that they may become united in your hand. |
| Ezek. 37:18 |
And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, Will you not tell us what you mean by these? |
| Ezek. 37:19 |
Say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, I am about to take the piece of wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel associated with him; and I will put them upon it, that is, the piece of wood of Judah, and make them one piece of wood, and they will be one in My hand. |
| Ezek. 37:20 |
And the pieces of wood on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. |
| Ezek. 37:21 |
And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah, I am about to take the children of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land. |
| Ezek. 37:22 |
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, and one king will be king to all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, nor will they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all. |
| Ezek. 37:23 |
They will not defile themselves any longer with their idols, or their detestable things, or any of their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them. Therefore they will be My people, and I will be their God. |
| Ezek. 37:24 |
And My Servant David will be King over them, and they all will have one Shepherd. They will also walk in My ordinances and observe My statutes and do them. |
| Ezek. 37:25 |
And they will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers dwelt; and they will dwell in it, they, their children, and their children's children, forever. And David My Servant will be their Prince forever. |
| Ezek. 37:26 |
I will also make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them [there] and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forever, |
| Ezek. 37:27 |
And My tabernacle will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My people. |
| Ezek. 37:28 |
Then the nations will know that I am Jehovah, who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary will be in their midst forever. |
