Ezekiel 37 :: Webster's Bible (WEB)

Eze 37:1

Eze 37:1The 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,

Eze 37:2

Eze 37:2And caused me to pass by them around: and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and lo, they were very dry.

Eze 37:3

Eze 37:3And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? and I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

Eze 37:4

Eze 37:4Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

Eze 37:5

Eze 37:5Thus saith the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

Eze 37:6

Eze 37:6And 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.

Eze 37:7

Eze 37:7So 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.

Eze 37:8

Eze 37:8And 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.

Eze 37:9

Eze 37:9Then said he to me, Prophesy to 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.

Eze 37:10

Eze 37:10So 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.

The Vision Explained

Eze 37:11

Eze 37:11Then he said to 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.

Eze 37:12

Eze 37:12Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

Eze 37:13

Eze 37:13And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you out of your graves,

Eze 37:14

Eze 37:14And 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.

Reunion of Judah and Israel

Eze 37:15

Eze 37:15The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,

Eze 37:16

Eze 37:16Moreover, 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:

Eze 37:17

Eze 37:17And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.

Eze 37:18

Eze 37:18And when the children of thy people shall speak to thee, saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these?

Eze 37:19

Eze 37:19Say to 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 my hand.

Eze 37:20

Eze 37:20And the sticks on which thou writest shall be in thy hand before their eyes.

Eze 37:21

Eze 37:21And say to them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they are gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

Eze 37:22

Eze 37:22And 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:

Eze 37:23

Eze 37:23Neither 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.
