The Book of Ezekiel (WEB)
37: 1The 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. 37:2He caused me to pass by them round
about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, behold, they were very dry.
37:3He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? I answered, Lord Yahweh, you know. 37:4Again
he said to me, Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, you dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.
37:5Thus says the Lord Yahweh to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and
you shall live. 37:6I 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. 37:7So 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. 37:8I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh
came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them. 37:9Then 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. 37:10So I prophesied as
he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet, an
exceeding great army. 37:11Then 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.
37:12Therefore 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. 37:13You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused you
to come up out of your graves, my people. 37:14I 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. 37:15The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying, 37:16You, 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: 37:17and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they may become one
in your hand. 37:18When the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not show
us what you mean by these? 37:19tell 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. 37:20The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes. 37:21Say to them,
Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations,
where they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
37:22and I will make them one nation in the land, on 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; 37:23neither 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 dwelling-places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my
people, and I will be their God. 37:24My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall
have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances, and observe my statutes, and do them.
37:25They shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived;
and they shall dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children's children, forever: and
David my servant shall be their prince for ever. 37:26Moreover 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 forevermore. 37:27My tent also shall be with them; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people. 37:28The nations shall know that I am Yahweh who
sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore.
