1The hand3027 of the LORD3068 was upon me, and carried me out3318 in the spirit7307 of the LORD3068, and set me down5117 in the midst8432 of the valley1237 which was full4392 of bones6106,
2And caused me to pass5674 by them round about5439: and, behold, there were very3966 many7227 in the open6440 valley1237; and, lo, they were very3966 dry3002.
3And he said559 unto me, Son1121 of man120, can these bones6106 live2421? And I answered559, O Lord136 GOD3069, thou knowest3045.
4Again he said559 unto me, Prophesy5012 upon these bones6106, and say559 unto them, O ye dry3002 bones6106, hear8085 the word1697 of the LORD3068.
5Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 unto these bones6106; Behold, I will cause breath7307 to enter935 into you, and ye shall live2421:
6And I will lay5414 sinews1517 upon you, and will bring up5927 flesh1320 upon you, and cover7159 you with skin5785, and put5414 breath7307 in you, and ye shall live2421; and ye shall know3045 that I am the LORD3068.
7So I prophesied5012 as I was commanded6680: and as I prophesied5012, there was a noise6963, and behold a shaking7494, and the bones6106 came together7126, bone6106 to his bone6106.
8And when I beheld7200, lo, the sinews1517 and the flesh1320 came up5927 upon them, and the skin5785 covered7159 them above4605: but there was no breath7307 in them.
9Then said559 he unto me, Prophesy5012 unto the wind7307, prophesy5012, son1121 of man120, and say559 to the wind7307, Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; Come935 from the four702 winds7307, O breath7307, and breathe5301 upon these slain2026, that they may live2421.
10So I prophesied5012 as he commanded6680 me, and the breath7307 came935 into them, and they lived2421, and stood up5975 upon their feet7272, an exceeding3966 3966 great1419 army2428.
11Then he said559 unto me, Son1121 of man120, these bones6106 are the whole house1004 of Israel3478: behold, they say559, Our bones6106 are dried3001, and our hope8615 is lost6: we are cut off1504 for our parts.
12Therefore prophesy5012 and say559 unto them, Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; Behold, O my people5971, I will open6605 your graves6913, and cause you to come up5927 out of your graves6913, and bring935 you into the land127 of Israel3478.
13And ye shall know3045 that I am the LORD3068, when I have opened6605 your graves6913, O my people5971, and brought you up5927 out of your graves6913,
14And shall put5414 my spirit7307 in you, and ye shall live2421, and I shall place3240 you in your own land127: then shall ye know3045 that I the LORD3068 have spoken1696 it, and performed6213 it, saith5002 the LORD3068.
15The word1697 of the LORD3068 came again unto me, saying559,
16Moreover, thou son1121 of man120, take3947 thee one259 stick6086, and write3789 upon it, For Judah3063, and for the children1121 of Israel3478 his companions2270: then take3947 another259 stick6086, and write3789 upon it, For Joseph3130, the stick6086 of Ephraim669, and for all the house1004 of Israel3478 his companions2270:
17And join7126 them one259 to another259 into one259 stick6086; and they shall become one259 in thine hand3027.
18And when the children1121 of thy people5971 shall speak559 unto thee, saying559, Wilt thou not shew5046 us what thou meanest by these?
19Say1696 unto them, Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; Behold, I will take3947 the stick6086 of Joseph3130, which is in the hand3027 of Ephraim669, and the tribes7626 of Israel3478 his fellows2270, and will put5414 them with him, even with the stick6086 of Judah3063, and make6213 them one259 stick6086, and they shall be one259 in mine hand3027.
20And the sticks6086 whereon thou writest3789 shall be in thine hand3027 before their eyes5869.
21And say1696 unto them, Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069; Behold, I will take3947 the children1121 of Israel3478 from among996 the heathen1471, whither they be gone1980, and will gather6908 them on every side5439, and bring935 them into their own land127:
22And I will make6213 them one259 nation1471 in the land776 upon the mountains2022 of Israel3478; and one259 king4428 shall be king4428 to them all: and they shall be5750 no more two8147 nations1471, neither shall they be divided2673 into two8147 kingdoms4467 any more at all:
23Neither shall they defile2930 themselves any more with their idols1544, nor with their detestable things8251, nor with any of their transgressions6588: but I will save3467 them out of all their dwellingplaces4186, wherein they have sinned2398, and will cleanse2891 them: so shall they be my people5971, and I will be their God430.
24And David1732 my servant5650 shall be king4428 over them; and they all shall have one259 shepherd7462: they shall also walk3212 in my judgments4941, and observe8104 my statutes2708, and do6213 them.
25And they shall dwell3427 in the land776 that I have given5414 unto Jacob3290 my servant5650, wherein your fathers1 have dwelt3427; and they shall dwell3427 therein, even they, and their children1121, and their children's1121 children1121 for ever5769: and my servant5650 David1732 shall be their prince5387 for5704 ever5769.
26Moreover I will make3772 a covenant1285 of peace7965 with them; it shall be an everlasting5769 covenant1285 with them: and I will place5414 them, and multiply7235 them, and will set5414 my sanctuary4720 in the midst8432 of them for evermore5769.
27My tabernacle4908 also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God430, and they shall be my people5971.
28And the heathen1471 shall know3045 that I the LORD3068 do sanctify6942 Israel3478, when my sanctuary4720 shall be in the midst8432 of them for evermore5769.
