the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain,
that they may live.
037:010 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came
into them, and they lived, and stood up on their feet,
an exceedingly great army.
037:011 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 is lost; we are clean cut off.
037:012 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the
Lord Yahweh: 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.
037:013 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves,
and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.
037:014 I will put my Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place
you in your own land: and you shall know that I, Yahweh,
have spoken it and performed it, says Yahweh.
037:015 The word of Yahweh came again to me, saying,
037:016 You, son of man, take one stick, and write on it, For Judah,
and for the 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:
037:017 and join them for you one to another into one stick, that they
may become one in your hand.
037:018 When the children of your people shall speak to you, saying,
Will you not show us what you mean by these?
037:019 tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take
the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim,
and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them
with it, [even] with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick,
and they shall be one in my hand.
037:020 The sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
037:021 Say to them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will take
the children of Israel from among the nations, where they
are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them
into their own land:
037:022 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains
of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they
shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided
into two kingdoms any more at all;
037:023 neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols,
nor with their detestable things, nor with any of
their transgressions; but I will save them out of all their
dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them:
so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
037:024 My servant David shall be king over them; and they all shall
have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my ordinances,
and observe my statutes, and do them.
