[1] Yahweh’s hand was on me, and he brought me out in Yahweh’s Spirit, and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. [2] He caused me to pass by them all around; and behold, there were very many in the open valley, and behold, they were very dry. [3] He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”I answered, “Lord Yahweh, you know.” [4] Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word. [5] The Lord Yahweh says to these bones: “Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you will live. [6] I will lay sinews on you, and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you will live. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.” ’ ” [7] So I prophesied as I was commanded. As I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, there was an earthquake. Then the bones came together, bone to its bone. [8] I saw, and, behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them. [9] Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the wind, prophesy, son of man, and tell the wind, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on 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 on their feet, an exceedingly great army. [11] 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 completely cut off.’ [12] Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “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. [13] You will know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people. [14] I will put my Spirit in you, and you will live. Then I will place you in your own land; and you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken it and performed it,” says Yahweh.’ ” [15] Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying, [16] “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.’ [17] Then join them for yourself to one another into one stick, that they may become one in your hand. [18] “When the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these?’ [19] tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “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, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land. [22] I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to them all. They will no longer be two nations. They won’t be divided into two kingdoms any more at all. [23] They won’t 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 they will be my people, and I will be their God. [24] “ ‘ “My servant David will be king over them. They all will have one shepherd. They will also walk in my ordinances and observe my statutes, and do them. [25] They will dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob my servant, in which your fathers lived. They will dwell therein, they, and their children, and their children’s children, forever. David my servant will be their prince forever. [26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more. [27] My tent also will be with them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. [28] The nations will know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies Israel, when my sanctuary is among them forever more.” ’ ”

The Breath of the Lord
[1] The hand H3027 of the Lord H3068 was upon me, and carried me out H3318 (HiphImpf) in the spirit H7307 of the Lord, H3068 and set me down H5117 (HiphImpf) in the midst H8432 of the valley H1237 which was full H4392 of bones, H6106 [2] and caused me to pass H5674 (HiphPerf) by them round about: H5439 and, behold, there were very H3966 many H7227 in the open H6440 valley; H1237§ and, lo, they were very H3966 dry. H3002 [3] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 can these bones H6106 live? H2421 (QalImpf) And I answered, H559 (QalImpf) O Lord H136 God, H3069 thou knowest. H3045 (QalPerf) [4] Again he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) upon these bones, H6106 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, O ye dry H3002 bones, H6106 hear H8085 (QalImpv) the word H1697 of the Lord. H3068 [5] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God H3069 unto these bones; H6106 Behold, I will cause breath H7307 to enter H935 (HiphPtc) into you, and ye shall live: H2421 (QalPerf) [6] and I will lay H5414 (QalPerf) sinews H1517 upon you, and will bring up H5927 (HiphPerf) flesh H1320 upon you, and cover H7159 (QalPerf) you with skin, H5785 and put H5414 (QalPerf) breath H7307 in you, and ye shall live; H2421 (QalPerf) and ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord. H3068 [7] So I prophesied H5012 (NiphPerf) as I was commanded: H6680 (PualPerf) and as I prophesied, H5012 (NiphInf) there was a noise, H6963 and behold a shaking, H7494 and the bones H6106 came together, H7126 (QalImpf) bone H6106 to his bone. H6106 [8] And when I beheld, H7200 (QalPerf) lo, the sinews H1517 and the flesh H1320 came up H5927 (QalPerf) upon them, and the skin H5785 covered H7159 (QalImpf) them above: H4605 but there was no breath H7307 in them. [9] Then said H559 (QalImpf) he unto me, Prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) unto the wind, H7307§ prophesy, H5012 (NiphImpv) son H1121 of man, H120 and say H559 (QalPerf) to the wind, H7307 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Come H935 (QalImpv) from the four H702 winds, H7307 O breath, H7307 and breathe H5301 (QalImpv) upon these slain, H2026 (QalPasPtc) that they may live. H2421 (QalImpf) [10] So I prophesied H5012 (HithPerf) as he commanded H6680 (PielPerf) me, and the breath H7307 came H935 (QalImpf) into them, and they lived, H2421 (QalImpf) and stood up H5975 (QalImpf) upon their feet, H7272 an exceeding H3966 great H1419 army. H2428 [11] Then he said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Son H1121 of man, H120 these bones H6106 are the whole house H1004 of Israel: H3478 behold, they say, H559 (QalActPtc) Our bones H6106 are dried, H3001 (QalPerf) and our hope H8615 is lost: H6 (QalPerf) we are cut off H1504 (NiphPerf) for our parts. [12] Therefore prophesy H5012 (NiphImpv) and say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, O my people, H5971 I will open H6605 (QalActPtc) your graves, H6913 and cause you to come up H5927 (HiphPerf) out of your graves, H6913 and bring H935 (HiphPerf) you into the land H127 of Israel. H3478 [13] And ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord, H3068 when I have opened H6605 (QalInf) your graves, H6913 O my people, H5971 and brought you up H5927 (HiphInf) out of your graves, H6913 [14] and shall put H5414 (QalPerf) my spirit H7307 in you, and ye shall live, H2421 (QalPerf) and I shall place H3240 (HiphPerf) you in your own land: H127 then shall ye know H3045 (QalPerf) that I the Lord H3068 have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it, and performed H6213 (QalPerf) it, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068 [15] The word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came again unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [16] Moreover, thou son H1121 of man, H120 take H3947 (QalImpv) thee one H259 stick, H6086 and write H3789 (QalImpv) upon it, For Judah, H3063 and for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 his companions: H2270 then take H3947 (QalImpv) another H259 stick, H6086 and write H3789 (QalImpv) upon it, For Joseph, H3130 the stick H6086 of Ephraim, H669 and for all the house H1004 of Israel H3478 his companions: H2270 [17] and join H7126 (PielImpv) them one H259 to another H259 into one H259 stick; H6086 and they shall become one H259 in thine hand. H3027 [18] And when the children H1121 of thy people H5971 shall speak H559 (QalImpf) unto thee, saying, H559 (QalInf) Wilt thou not shew H5046 (HiphImpf) us what thou meanest by these? [19] Say H1696 (PielImpv) unto them, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I will take H3947 (QalActPtc) the stick H6086 of Joseph, H3130 which is in the hand H3027 of Ephraim, H669 and the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 his fellows, H2270 and will put H5414 (QalPerf) them with him, even with the stick H6086 of Judah, H3063 and make H6213 (QalPerf) them one H259 stick, H6086 and they shall be one H259 in mine hand. H3027 [20] And the sticks H6086 whereon thou writest H3789 (QalImpf) shall be in thine hand H3027 before their eyes. H5869 [21] And say H1696 (PielImpv) unto them, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I will take H3947 (QalActPtc) the children H1121 of Israel H3478 from among H996 the heathen, H1471 whither they be gone, H1980 (QalPerf) and will gather H6908 (PielPerf) them on every side, H5439 and bring H935 (HiphPerf) them into their own land: H127 [22] and I will make H6213 (QalPerf) them one H259 nation H1471 in the land H776 upon the mountains H2022 of Israel; H3478 and one H259 king H4428 shall be king H4428 to them all: and they shall be H5750 no more two H8147 nations, H1471 neither shall they be divided H2673 (NiphImpf) into two H8147 kingdoms H4467 any more at all: [23] neither shall they defile H2930 (HithImpf) themselves any more with their idols, H1544 nor with their detestable things, H8251 nor with any of their transgressions: H6588 but I will save H3467 (HiphPerf) them out of all their dwellingplaces, H4186 wherein they have sinned, H2398 (QalPerf) and will cleanse H2891 (PielPerf) them: so shall they be my people, H5971 and I will be their God. H430 [24] And David H1732 my servant H5650 shall be king H4428 over them; and they all shall have one H259 shepherd: H7462 (QalActPtc) they shall also walk H3212 (QalImpf) in my judgments, H4941 and observe H8104 (QalImpf) my statutes, H2708 and do H6213 (QalPerf) them. [25] And they shall dwell H3427 (QalPerf) in the land H776 that I have given H5414 (QalPerf) unto Jacob H3290 my servant, H5650 wherein your fathers H1 have dwelt; H3427 (QalPerf) and they shall dwell H3427 (QalPerf) therein, even they, and their children, H1121 and their children’s H1121 children H1121 for ever: H5769 and my servant H5650 David H1732 shall be their prince H5387 for H5704 ever. H5769 [26] Moreover I will make H3772 (QalPerf) a covenant H1285 of peace H7965 with them; it shall be an everlasting H5769 covenant H1285 with them: and I will place H5414 (QalPerf) them, and multiply H7235 (HiphPerf) them, and will set H5414 (QalPerf) my sanctuary H4720 in the midst H8432 of them for evermore. H5769 [27] My tabernacle H4908 also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, H430 and they shall be my people. H5971 [28] And the heathen H1471 shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I the Lord H3068 do sanctify H6942 (PielPtc) Israel, H3478 when my sanctuary H4720 shall be in the midst H8432 of them for evermore.
