Ezekiel 37 (WEBP)

[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.” ’ ”

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 37 (YLT)

[1] There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst of the valley, and it is full of bones,
[2] and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about, and lo, very many are on the face of the valley, and lo, very dry.
[3] And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, do these bones live?’ And I say, ‘O Lord Jehovah, Thou-Thou hast known.’
[4] And He saith unto me, ‘Prophesy concerning these bones, and thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah:
[5] Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived,
[6] and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I am Jehovah.’
[7] And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw near do the bones, bone unto its bone.
[8] And I beheld, and lo, on them are sinews, and flesh hath come up, and cover them doth skin over above-and spirit there is none in them.
[9] And He saith unto me: ‘Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and breathe on these slain, and they do live.’
[10] And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet-a very very great force.
[11] And He saith unto me, ‘Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.
[12] Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you in unto the land of Israel.
[13] And ye have known that I am Jehovah, In My opening your graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My people.
[14] And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done it, An affirmation of Jehovah.’
[15] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
[16] ‘And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions; and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions,
[17] and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one stick, and they have become one in thy hand.
[18] ‘And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost thou not declare to us what these are to thee?
[19] Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the stick of Joseph, that is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become one stick, and they have been one in My hand.
[20] And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand before thine eyes,
[21] and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I have brought them in unto their land.
[22] And I have made them become one nation in the land, on mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more into two kingdoms again.
[23] Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I-I am to them for God.
[24] And My servant David is king over them, And one shepherd have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes they keep, and have done them.
[25] And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant, to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt on it, they and their sons, And their son’s sons-unto the age, And David My servant is their prince-to the age.
[26] And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst-to the age.
[27] And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to them for God, And they have been to Me for a people.
[28] And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst-to the age!’
