Dual Panel1The hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> was upon me, and carried me out <03318> (8686) in the spirit <07307> of the LORD <03068>_, and set me down <05117> (8686) in the midst <08432> of the valley <01237> which [was] full <04392> of bones <06106>_,
2And caused me to pass <05674> (8689) by them round about <05439>_: and, behold, [there were] very <03966> many <07227> in the open <06440> valley <01237>_; and, lo, [they were] very <03966> dry <03002>_. {valley: or, champaign}
3And he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>_, can these bones <06106> live <02421> (8799)_? And I answered <0559> (8799)_, O Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_, thou knowest <03045> (8804)_.
4Again he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Prophesy <05012> (8734) upon these bones <06106>_, and say <0559> (8804) unto them, O ye dry <03002> bones <06106>_, hear <08085> (8798) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>_.
5Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> unto these bones <06106>_; Behold, I will cause breath <07307> to enter <0935> (8688) into you, and ye shall live <02421> (8804)_:
6And I will lay <05414> (8804) sinews <01517> upon you, and will bring up <05927> (8689) flesh <01320> upon you, and cover <07159> (8804) you with skin <05785>_, and put <05414> (8804) breath <07307> in you, and ye shall live <02421> (8804)_; and ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I [am] the LORD <03068>_.
7So I prophesied <05012> (8738) as I was commanded <06680> (8795)_: and as I prophesied <05012> (8736)_, there was a noise <06963>_, and behold a shaking <07494>_, and the bones <06106> came together <07126> (8799)_, bone <06106> to his bone <06106>_.
8And when I beheld <07200> (8804)_, lo, the sinews <01517> and the flesh <01320> came up <05927> (8804) upon them, and the skin <05785> covered <07159> (8799) them above <04605>_: but [there was] no breath <07307> in them.
9Then said <0559> (8799) he unto me, Prophesy <05012> (8734) unto the wind <07307>_, prophesy <05012> (8734)_, son <01121> of man <0120>_, and say <0559> (8804) to the wind <07307>_, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Come <0935> (8798) from the four <0702> winds <07307>_, O breath <07307>_, and breathe <05301> (8798) upon these slain <02026> (8803)_, that they may live <02421> (8799)_. {wind: or, breath}
10So I prophesied <05012> (8694) as he commanded <06680> (8765) me, and the breath <07307> came <0935> (8799) into them, and they lived <02421> (8799)_, and stood up <05975> (8799) upon their feet <07272>_, an exceeding <03966> <03966> great <01419> army <02428>_.
11Then he said <0559> (8799) unto me, Son <01121> of man <0120>_, these bones <06106> are the whole house <01004> of Israel <03478>_: behold, they say <0559> (8802)_, Our bones <06106> are dried <03001> (8804)_, and our hope <08615> is lost <06> (8804)_: we are cut off <01504> (8738) for our parts.
12Therefore prophesy <05012> (8734) and say <0559> (8804) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Behold, O my people <05971>_, I will open <06605> (8802) your graves <06913>_, and cause you to come up <05927> (8689) out of your graves <06913>_, and bring <0935> (8689) you into the land <0127> of Israel <03478>_.
13And ye shall know <03045> (8804) that I [am] the LORD <03068>_, when I have opened <06605> (8800) your graves <06913>_, O my people <05971>_, and brought you up <05927> (8687) out of your graves <06913>_,
14And shall put <05414> (8804) my spirit <07307> in you, and ye shall live <02421> (8804)_, and I shall place <03240> (8689) you in your own land <0127>_: then shall ye know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) [it], and performed <06213> (8804) [it], saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>_.
15The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> came again unto me, saying <0559> (8800)_,
16Moreover, thou son <01121> of man <0120>_, take <03947> (8798) thee one <0259> stick <06086>_, and write <03789> (8798) upon it, For Judah <03063>_, and for the children <01121> of Israel <03478> his companions <02270>_: then take <03947> (8798) another <0259> stick <06086>_, and write <03789> (8798) upon it, For Joseph <03130>_, the stick <06086> of Ephraim <0669>_, and [for] all the house <01004> of Israel <03478> his companions <02270>_:
17And join <07126> (8761) them one <0259> to another <0259> into one <0259> stick <06086>_; and they shall become one <0259> in thine hand <03027>_.
18And when the children <01121> of thy people <05971> shall speak <0559> (8799) unto thee, saying <0559> (8800)_, Wilt thou not shew <05046> (8686) us what thou [meanest] by these?
19Say <01696> (8761) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Behold, I will take <03947> (8802) the stick <06086> of Joseph <03130>_, which [is] in the hand <03027> of Ephraim <0669>_, and the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> his fellows <02270>_, and will put <05414> (8804) them with him, [even] with the stick <06086> of Judah <03063>_, and make <06213> (8804) them one <0259> stick <06086>_, and they shall be one <0259> in mine hand <03027>_.
20And the sticks <06086> whereon thou writest <03789> (8799) shall be in thine hand <03027> before their eyes <05869>_.
21And say <01696> (8761) unto them, Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Behold, I will take <03947> (8802) the children <01121> of Israel <03478> from among <0996> the heathen <01471>_, whither they be gone <01980> (8804)_, and will gather <06908> (8765) them on every side <05439>_, and bring <0935> (8689) them into their own land <0127>_:
22And I will make <06213> (8804) them one <0259> nation <01471> in the land <0776> upon the mountains <02022> of Israel <03478>_; and one <0259> king <04428> shall be king <04428> to them all: and they shall be <05750> no more two <08147> nations <01471>_, neither shall they be divided <02673> (8735) into two <08147> kingdoms <04467> any more at all:
23Neither shall they defile <02930> (8691) themselves any more with their idols <01544>_, nor with their detestable things <08251>_, nor with any of their transgressions <06588>_: but I will save <03467> (8689) them out of all their dwellingplaces <04186>_, wherein they have sinned <02398> (8804)_, and will cleanse <02891> (8765) them: so shall they be my people <05971>_, and I will be their God <0430>_.
24And David <01732> my servant <05650> [shall be] king <04428> over them; and they all shall have one <0259> shepherd <07462> (8802)_: they shall also walk <03212> (8799) in my judgments <04941>_, and observe <08104> (8799) my statutes <02708>_, and do <06213> (8804) them.
25And they shall dwell <03427> (8804) in the land <0776> that I have given <05414> (8804) unto Jacob <03290> my servant <05650>_, wherein your fathers <01> have dwelt <03427> (8804)_; and they shall dwell <03427> (8804) therein, [even] they, and their children <01121>_, and their children's <01121> children <01121> for ever <05769>_: and my servant <05650> David <01732> [shall be] their prince <05387> for <05704> ever <05769>_.
26Moreover I will make <03772> (8804) a covenant <01285> of peace <07965> with them; it shall be an everlasting <05769> covenant <01285> with them: and I will place <05414> (8804) them, and multiply <07235> (8689) them, and will set <05414> (8804) my sanctuary <04720> in the midst <08432> of them for evermore <05769>_.
27My tabernacle <04908> also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God <0430>_, and they shall be my people <05971>_.
28And the heathen <01471> shall know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> do sanctify <06942> (8764) Israel <03478>_, when my sanctuary <04720> shall be in the midst <08432> of them for evermore <05769>_.
