Ezekiel 37 📜 📕 ↷
Valley of Dry Bones
1 THE hand of our Lord was made upon me, and brought me forth in the spirit of our Lord: and left me in the midst of a field, that was full of bones.📜💬📚
2 And he led me about through them on every side: and there were very many upon the face of the field, and exceeding dry.📜💬📚
3 And he said to me: Son of man, thinkest thou these bones shall live? And I said, Lord God, thou knowest.📜💬📚
4 And he said to me: Prophesy of these bones: and thou shalt say to them: Dry bones hear ye the word of our Lord.📜💬📚
5 Thus saith our Lord God to these bones: Behold I will put spirit into you, and you shall live.📜💬📚
6 And I will give sinews upon you, and will make flesh to grow up over you, and will stretch a skin on you: and I will give you spirit, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.📜💬📚
7 And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and there was made a sound when I prophesied, and behold a commotion: and bones came to bones, every one to his juncture.📜💬📚
8 And I saw, and behold upon them sinews, and flesh was grown up: and a skin was stretched out in them above, and they had no spirit.📜💬📚
9 And he said to me: prophesy to the spirit, prophesy son of man, & thou shalt say to the spirit: Thus saith our Lord God: Come spirit from the four winds, and blow upon these slain, and let them be revived.📜💬📚
10 And I prophesied as he had commanded me: and spirit entered into them, and they lived: and they stood upon their feet, an army passing great.📜💬📚
11 And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones, are the house of Israel: They say: our bones are withered, our hope is perished, and we are cut off.📜💬📚
12 Therefore prophesy, and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will open your graves, and will bring you out of your sepulchres o my people: and will bring you into the land of Israel📜💬📚
13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have opened your sepulchres, & shall have brought you out of your graves o my people:📜💬📚
14 and shall have given my spirit in you, & you shall live, & I shall make you rest upon your ground: & you shall know that I, the Lord have spoken & done it, saith our Lord God.📜💬📚
One Nation with One King
15 And the word of our Lord was made to me, saying:📜💬📚
16 And thou son of man, take thee one piece of wood, and write upon it: Of Juda, & of the children of Israel his fellows: & take an other piece of wood, & write upon it: Of Joseph the wood of Ephraim, and of all the house of Israel, and of his fellows.📜💬📚
17 And join them, one to the other for thee into one piece of wood, and they shall be into an union in thy hand.📜💬📚
18 And when the children of thy people shall say to thee speaking: Doest thou not declare unto us what thou meanest by these?📜💬📚
19 Thou shalt speak to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will take the piece of wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, & the tribes of Israel, that are adjoined to him: and I will give them together with the piece of wood of Juda, and will make them into one piece of wood: and they shall be one in his hand.📜💬📚
20 And the pieces of wood whereupon thou shalt write, in thy hand, shall be before their eyes.📜💬📚
21 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will take the children of Israel out of the midst of the nations, to which they are gone: and I will gather them together on every side, and will bring them to their ground.📜💬📚
22 And I will make them into one nation in the land on the mountains of Israel, and there shall be one king ruling over them all: & they shall no more be two nations, neither shall they be divided any more into two kingdoms.📜💬📚
23 Neither shall they be polluted any more in their idols, & their abominations, and all their iniquities, & I will save them out of all the seats, in which they have sinned & I will cleanse them: & they shall be my people, & I will be their God.📜💬📚
24 And my servant David king over them, & there shall be one Pastor of them all, they shall walk in my judgements, and shall keep my commandments, and shall do them.📜💬📚
25 And they shall dwell upon the land, which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell upon it, themselves, & their children, & their children's children, even for ever: & David my servant their Prince for ever.📜💬📚
26 And I will make a league of peace to them, an everlasting covenant shall be to them: and I will found them, & will multiply them, and will give my sanctification in the midst of them for ever.📜💬📚
27 And my tabernacle shall be in them: & I will be their God, and they shall be my people.📜💬📚
28 And the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctification shall be in the midst of them for ever.📜💬📚
