A prophecy was then given to Ezekiel for the dry bones. The Lord would cause them to live. Tendons, flesh, skin, and breath would come on the bones so that live people would be formed. Then this “resurrected” people would know that God was the Lord (vv.4–6). So Ezekiel did exactly as the Lord commanded and proclaimed the Lord’s words to the dead, dry bones. While he was speaking, all the bones came together and took on themselves tendons, flesh, and skin. But no breath was found in them (vv.7–8).
