Context of Ezekiel 37:14
12Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will open your graves and make you come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you [back home] to the land of Israel. 13Then you will know [with confidence] that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves and made you come up out of your graves, My people.

Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and fulfilled it,” says the Lord.’ ” 15The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, 16“And you, son of man, take a 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 all the house of Israel, his companions.’
