Ezekiel 37:1–14

¹There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones, ²and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many are on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry. ³And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, do these bones live?’ And I say, ‘O Lord Jehovah, Thou—Thou hast known.’ ⁴And He saith unto me, ‘Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah: ⁵Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived, ⁶and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.’ ⁷And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone. ⁸And I beheld, and lo, on them are sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above—and spirit there is none in them. ⁹And He saith unto me: ‘Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.’ ¹⁰And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet—a very very great force. ¹¹And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves. ¹²Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel. ¹³And ye have known that I am Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people. ¹⁴And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done it, An affirmation of Jehovah.’
