Ezekiel 37
37:1And the hand of the lord came upon me, and it led me by spirit of the lord, and put me in the midst of the plain, and this was full of bones of humans.
37:2And he led me unto them, round about in a circuit. And behold, exceedingly many were upon the face of the plain -- exceedingly dry.
37:3And he said to me, O son of man, shall these bones live? and I said, O Lord, O lord, you know these things.
37:4And he said to me, Prophesy over these bones! and you shall say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the lord.
37:5Thus says the Lord the lord to these bones; Behold, I shall bring into you a spirit of life.
37:6And I shall put upon you nerves, and I will lead flesh upon you, and I shall stretch out upon you skin, and I will put my spirit into you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the lord.
37:7And I prophesied as he gave charge to me. And came to pass a sound in my prophesying, and behold, a quake; and came forward the bones to bone to its joint.
37:8And I beheld, and behold, upon them nerves and flesh germinated, and skin ascended upon them above; but there was no breath in them.
37:9And he said to me, Prophesy over the wind! Prophesy, O son of man, and say to the wind! Thus says the Lord the lord; From out of the four winds, come wind and breathe onto these dead, and let them live!
37:10And I prophesied in so far as he gave charge to me, and the wind entered into them, and they lived; and they stood upon their feet, a very exceedingly great gathering.
37:11And the lord spoke to me, saying, O son of man, these bones are all the house of Israel. And they say, Our bones are dry; our hope is destroyed; we are perished.
37:12On account of this prophesy and say! Thus says the Lord the lord; Behold, I shall open your tombs, and I shall lead you from out of your tombs, and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
37:13And you shall know that I am the lord, by my opening your graves, for me to lead you from out of your graves, O my people.
37:14And I will put my spirit into you, and you shall live. And I will put you upon your land, and you shall know that I the lord have spoken, and I will act, says the lord.
37:15And the word of the lord came to me, saying,
37:16And you, O son of man, take to yourself one rod, and write upon it, Judah, and the sons of Israel of the ones set before by him! And you shall take to yourself a second rod, and you shall write on it, To Joseph, the rod of Ephraim, and all the sons of Israel, of the ones set before by him.
37:17And you shall join them to one another to yourself, to bind them into one rod; and they will be in your hand.
37:18And it will be whenever the sons of your people shall speak to you, saying, Will you not report to us what these things are to you?
37:19And you shall say to them, Thus says the lord God; Behold, I shall take the tribe of Joseph, the one through the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, the ones lying near to him, and I will appoint them unto the tribe of Judah, and they shall be for one rod, and they shall be one in the hand of Judah.
37:20And the rods upon which you wrote upon them shall be in your hand before them.
37:21And you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord the lord; Behold, I take all the house of Israel from out of the midst of the nations which they entered there; and I will gather them from all of the ones surrounding them; and I will bring them into the land of Israel.
37:22And I will make them one nation in my land on the mountains of Israel; and one ruler will be for all these for king. And they will not be any longer for two nations, nor shall they be divided any longer into two kingdoms;
37:23that they should not be defiled any longer by their idols, and in their stumblings, and in all their impieties. And I will rescue them from all their lawless deeds which they sinned by them, and I will cleanse them. And they will be to me for a people, and I will be to them for God.
37:24And my servant David will be ruler in the midst of them; and there will be one shepherd for all. For by my orders they shall go, and my judgments they shall keep, and they shall do them.
37:25And they shall dwell upon their land of which I gave to my servant Jacob, of which place their fathers dwelt there. And they shall dwell upon it, they and their sons and the sons of their sons unto the eon; and David my servant ruling them into the eon.
37:26And I will ordain with them a covenant of peace; it will be an eternal covenant with them. And I will put them and multiply them; and I will put my holy things in their midst into the eon.
37:27And my shelter will be among them; and I will be to them God, and they will be my people.
37:28And the nations shall know that I am the lord sanctifying them, in the being of my holy things in their midst into the eon.
