The Dry Bones Live

1 The ahand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out bin the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.  
2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.
3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, aYou know.”  
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will acause breath to enter into you, and you shall live.  
6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. aThen you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”  
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the1 breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: a“Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ”  
10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, aand breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.  
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the awhole house of Israel. They indeed say, b‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’  
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, aO My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bbring you into the land of Israel.  
13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves.
14 I awill put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ”  

One Kingdom, One King

15 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 “As for you, son of man, atake a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for bthe 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.’
