1
The
hand
of
the
LORD
was
upon
me,
and
carried
me
out
in
the
spirit
of
the
LORD,
and
set
me
down
in
the
midst
of
the
valley
which
[was]
full
of
bones,
2
And
caused
me
to
pass
by
them
round
about:
and,
behold,
[there
were]
very
many
in
the
open
valley;
and,
lo,
[they
were]
very
dry.
3
And
he
said
unto
me,
Son
of
man,
can
these
bones
live?
And
I
answered,
O
Lord
GOD,
thou
knowest.
4
Again
he
said
unto
me,
Prophesy
upon
these
bones,
and
say
unto
them,
O
ye
dry
bones,
hear
the
word
of
the
LORD.
5
Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD
unto
these
bones;
Behold,
I
will
cause
breath
to
enter
into
you,
and
ye
shall
live:
6
And
I
will
lay
sinews
upon
you,
and
will
bring
up
flesh
upon
you,
and
cover
you
with
skin,
and
put
breath
in
you,
and
ye
shall
live;
and
ye
shall
know
that
I
[am]
the
LORD.
7
So
I
prophesied
as
I
was
commanded:
and
as
I
prophesied,
there
was
a
noise,
and
behold
a
shaking,
and
the
bones
came
together,
bone
to
his
bone.
8
And
when
I
beheld,
lo,
the
sinews
and
the
flesh
came
up
upon
them,
and
the
skin
covered
them
above:
but
[there
was]
no
breath
in
them.
9
Then
said
he
unto
me,
Prophesy
unto
the
wind,
prophesy,
son
of
man,
and
say
to
the
wind,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
Come
from
the
four
winds,
O
breath,
and
breathe
upon
these
slain,
that
they
may
live.
10
So
I
prophesied
as
he
commanded
me,
and
the
breath
came
into
them,
and
they
lived,
and
stood
up
upon
their
feet,
an
exceeding
great
army.
11
Then
he
said
unto
me,
Son
of
man,
these
bones
are
the
whole
house
of
Israel:
behold,
they
say,
Our
bones
are
dried,
and
our
hope
is
lost:
we
are
cut
off
for
our
parts.
12
Therefore
prophesy
and
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
Behold,
O
my
people,
I
will
open
your
graves,
and
cause
you
to
come
up
out
of
your
graves,
and
bring
you
into
the
land
of
Israel.
13
And
ye
shall
know
that
I
[am]
the
LORD,
when
I
have
opened
your
graves,
O
my
people,
and
brought
you
up
out
of
your
graves,
14
And
shall
put
my
spirit
in
you,
and
ye
shall
live,
and
I
shall
place
you
in
your
own
land:
then
shall
ye
know
that
I
the
LORD
have
spoken
[it],
and
performed
[it],
saith
the
LORD.
15
The
word
of
the
LORD
came
again
unto
me,
saying,
16
Moreover,
thou
son
of
man,
take
thee
one
stick,
and
write
upon
it,
For
Judah,
and
for
the
children
of
Israel
his
companions:
then
take
another
stick,
and
write
upon
it,
For
Joseph,
the
stick
of
Ephraim,
and
[for]
all
the
house
of
Israel
his
companions:
17
And
join
them
one
to
another
into
one
stick;
and
they
shall
become
one
in
thine
hand.
18
And
when
the
children
of
thy
people
shall
speak
unto
thee,
saying,
Wilt
thou
not
shew
us
what
thou
[meanest]
by
these?
19
Say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
Behold,
I
will
take
the
stick
of
Joseph,
which
[is]
in
the
hand
of
Ephraim,
and
the
tribes
of
Israel
his
fellows,
and
will
put
them
with
him,
[even]
with
the
stick
of
Judah,
and
make
them
one
stick,
and
they
shall
be
one
in
mine
hand.
20
And
the
sticks
whereon
thou
writest
shall
be
in
thine
hand
before
their
eyes.
21
And
say
unto
them,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
GOD;
Behold,
I
will
take
the
children
of
Israel
from
among
the
heathen,
whither
they
be
gone,
and
will
gather
them
on
every
side,
and
bring
them
into
their
own
land:
22
And
I
will
make
them
one
nation
in
the
land
upon
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:
23
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
dwellingplaces,
wherein
they
have
sinned,
and
will
cleanse
them:
so
shall
they
be
my
people,
and
I
will
be
their
God.
24
And
David
my
servant
[shall
be]
king
over
them;
and
they
all
shall
have
one
shepherd:
they
shall
also
walk
in
my
judgments,
and
observe
my
statutes,
and
do
them.
25
And
they
shall
dwell
in
the
land
that
I
have
given
unto
Jacob
my
servant,
wherein
your
fathers
have
dwelt;
and
they
shall
dwell
therein,
[even]
they,
and
their
children,
and
their
children’s
children
for
ever:
and
my
servant
David
[shall
be]
their
prince
for
ever.
26
Moreover
I
will
make
a
covenant
of
peace
with
them;
it
shall
be
an
everlasting
covenant
with
them:
and
I
will
place
them,
and
multiply
them,
and
will
set
my
sanctuary
in
the
midst
of
them
for
evermore.
27
My
tabernacle
also
shall
be
with
them:
yea,
I
will
be
their
God,
and
they
shall
be
my
people.
28
And
the
heathen
shall
know
that
I
the
LORD
do
sanctify
Israel,
when
my
sanctuary
shall
be
in
the
midst
of
them
for
evermore.
