The hand
of the LORD
was upon me, and carried me out
in the spirit
of the LORD,
and set me down
in the midst
of the valley
which was full
of bones,
plain

And caused me to pass
by them round about:
and, behold, there were very
many
in the open
valley;
and, lo, they were very
dry.
And he said
unto me, Son
of man,
can these bones
live?
And I answered,
O Lord
GOD,
thou knowest.
Again he said
unto me, Prophesy
upon these bones,
and say
unto them, O ye dry
bones,
hear
the word
of the LORD.
Thus saith
the Lord
GOD
unto these bones;
Behold, I will cause breath
to enter
into you, and ye shall live:
And I will lay
sinews
upon you, and will bring up
flesh
upon you, and cover
you with skin,
and put
breath
in you, and ye shall live;
and ye shall know
that I am the LORD.

So I prophesied
as I was commanded:
and as I prophesied,
there was a noise,
and behold a shaking,
and the bones

And when I beheld,
lo, the sinews
and the flesh
came up
upon them, and the skin
covered
them above:
but there was no breath
in them.
Then said
he unto me, Prophesy
unto the wind,
prophesy,
son
of man,
and say
to the wind,
Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Come
from the four
winds,
O breath,
and breathe
upon 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
upon their feet,
an exceeding
great
army.
Then he said
unto me, Son
of man,
these bones
are the whole house
of Israel:
behold, they say,
Our bones
are dried,
and our hope
is lost:
we are cut off
for our parts.

Therefore prophesy
and say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Behold, O my people,
I will open
your graves,
and cause you to come up
out of your graves,
and bring
you into the land
of Israel.
say
And ye shall know
that I am the LORD,
when I have opened
your graves,
O my people,
and brought you up
out of your graves,
And shall put
my spirit
in you, and ye shall live,
and I shall place
you in your own land:
then shall ye know
that I the LORD
have spoken
it, and performed
it, saith
the LORD.
The word
of the LORD
came again unto me, saying,
Moreover, thou son
of man,
take
thee one
stick,
and write
upon it, For Judah,
and for the children
of Israel
his companions:
then take
another
stick,
and write
upon it, For Joseph,
the stick
of Ephraim,
and for all the house
of Israel
his companions:
placed

And join
them one
to another
into one
stick;
and they shall become one
in thine hand.
And when the children
of thy people
shall speak
unto thee, saying,
Wilt thou not shew
us what thou meanest by these?
Say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Behold, I will take
the stick
of Joseph,
which is in the hand
of Ephraim,
and the tribes
of Israel
his fellows,
and will put
them with him, even with the stick
of Judah,
and make
them one
stick,
and they shall be one
in mine hand.
placed
προσκειμένας

And the sticks
whereon thou writest
shall be in thine hand
before their eyes.
And say
unto them, Thus saith
the Lord
GOD;
Behold, I will take
the children
of Israel
from among
the heathen,
whither they be gone,
and will gather
them on every side,
and bring
them into their own land:
round about
περικύκλῳ

And I will make
them one
nation
in the land
upon the mountains
of Israel;
and one
king
shall be king
to them all: and they shall be
no more two
nations,
neither shall they be divided
into two
kingdoms
any more at all:
Neither shall they defile
themselves any more with their idols,
nor with their detestable things,
nor with any of their transgressions:
but I will save
them out of all their dwellingplaces,
wherein they have sinned,
and will cleanse
them: so shall they be my people,
and I will be their God.
And David
my servant
shall be king
over them; and they all shall have one
shepherd:
they shall also walk
in my judgments,
and observe
my statutes,
and do
them.

And they shall dwell
in the land
that I have given
unto Jacob
my servant,
wherein your fathers
have dwelt;
and they shall dwell
therein, even they, and their children,
and their children's
children
for ever:
and my servant
David
shall be their prince
for
ever.
Moreover I will make
a covenant
of peace
with them; it shall be an everlasting
covenant
with them: and I will place
them, and multiply
them, and will set
my sanctuary
in the midst
of them for evermore.
My tabernacle
also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
And the heathen
shall know
that I the LORD
do sanctify
Israel,
when my sanctuary
shall be in the midst
of them for evermore.
