Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones 1 The 1hand of the LORD was upon …
Vision of the Valley of Dry Bones
1 The 1hand of the LORD was upon me, and He 2brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the 3valley; and it was full of bones.
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.
3
He said to me, "Son of man, 4can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord GOD, 5You know."
4
Again He said to me, "6Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, 7hear the word of the LORD.'
5
"Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause 8breath to enter you that you may come to life.
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 9know that I am the LORD.' "
7
So I prophesied 10as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8
And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered * them; but there was no breath in them.
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 11breathe on these slain, that they 12come to life.""'
10
So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the 13breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an 14exceedingly great army.
The Vision Explained
11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the 15whole house of Israel; behold, they say, 'Our 16bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are completely 17cut off.'
12
"Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will open your graves and 18cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
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.
14
"I will 19put My 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.' "
Reunion of Judah and Israel
15 The word of the LORD came again to me saying,
16
"And you, son of man, take for yourself 20one stick and write on it, 'For 21Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions '; then take another stick and write on it, 'For 22Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and all the house of Israel, his companions.'
17
"Then 23join them for yourself one to another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand.
18
"When the sons of your people speak to you saying, 'Will you not declare to us 24what you mean by these?'
19
say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "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, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand."'
20
"The sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21
"Say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will 25take the sons of Israel from among the nations where * they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;
22
and I will make them 26one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and 27one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations and no longer be divided into two kingdoms.
23
"They will 28no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions; but 29I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be My people, and I will be their God.
The Davidic Kingdom
24 "My servant 30David will be king over them, and they will all have 31one shepherd; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them.
25
"They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons' sons, forever *; and 32David My servant will be their prince forever.
26
"I will make a 33covenant of peace with them; it will be an 34everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and 35multiply them, and will set My 36sanctuary in their midst forever.
27
"My 37dwelling place also will be with them; and 38I will be their God, and they will be My people.
28
"And the nations will know that I am the LORD 39who sanctifies Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forever.""'
