Ezek.|37:1|-|The |a|hand of Jehovah came upon me, and He brought me out in the |b|Spirit of Jehovah and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of |1|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, |a|Son of man, can these bones |b|live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, You know.
Ezek.|37:4|-|Then He said to me, |1|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 |1a|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 |a|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 |1|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 |a|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 |a|breath came into them; and they |1|lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Ezek.|37:11|-|Then He said to me, Son of man, these |a|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 |a|graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, O My people; and I will |b|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 |a|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 |1a|wood, and write upon it, For Judah and for the children of Israel associated with him; then take another piece of |1|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 |a|gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
Ezek.|37:22|-|And I will make them one |a|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 any more 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 |a|cleanse them. Therefore they will be My people, and I will be their God.
Ezek.|37:24|-|And My Servant |1a|David will be King over them, and they all will have one |b|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 |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 |a|tabernacle will be with them; and I will be their God, and they will be My |b|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.
