&
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones.
Ezek 37:2
&
He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, {there were} very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, {they were} very dry.
Ezek 37:3
&
He said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, You know."
Ezek 37:4
&
Again He said to me, "Prophesy over these bones and say to them, `O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.'
Ezek 37:5
&
~"Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, `Behold, I will cause (Or {spirit,} and so throughout the ch) breath to enter you that you may come to life.
Ezek 37:6
&
~`I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the LORD."'
Ezek 37:7
&
So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
Ezek 37:8
&
And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
Ezek 37:9
&
Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, `Thus says the Lord GOD, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life.""'
Ezek 37:10
&
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Ezek 37:11
&
Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, `Our bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are completely cut off.'
Ezek 37:12
&
~"Therefore prophesy and say to them, `Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
Ezek 37:13
&
~"Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people.
Ezek 37:14
&
~"I will put My (Or {breath}) Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it," declares the LORD."'
