Ezekiel 37:16-22

16“And youH859, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 a singleH259 stickH60861 and writeH3789 on itH5921: ‘Belonging to JudahH3063 and to the IsraelitesH1121H3478 associated with himH2270.’ Then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086 and writeH3789 on itH5921: ‘Belonging to JosephH3130—the stickH6086 of EphraimH669—and to allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 associated with himH2270.’ 17Then joinH7126 themH853 togetherH259H413 into oneH259 stickH6086, so that they becomeH1961 oneH259 in your handH3027.

18WhenH834 your peopleH1121H5971H559 askH559 youH413, ‘Won’tH3808 you explainH5046 to us whatH4100 you mean by theseH428?’ 19you are to tellH1696 themH413 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069H2009 saysH559: ‘IH589 will takeH3947 the stickH6086 of JosephH3130, whichH834 is in the handH3027 of EphraimH669, and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 associated with himH2270, and I will putH5414 themH853 together withH5921 the stickH6086 of JudahH3063. I will make themH6213 into a singleH259 stickH6086, and they will becomeH1961 oneH259 in My handH3027.’

20When the sticksH6086 on whichH834 you writeH3789 areH1961 in your handH3027 and in full view of the peopleH5869, 21you are to tellH1696 themH413 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069H2009 saysH559: ‘IH589 will takeH3947 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 out ofH996 the nationsH1471 to whichH834 they have goneH1980H8033, and I will gather themH6908 fromH853 all aroundH5439 and bringH935 themH853 intoH413 their own landH127. 22I will makeH6213 themH853 oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776, on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, and oneH259 kingH4428 will rule overH1961H4428 all of themH3605. Then they will noH3808H5750 longerH5750 beH1961 twoH8147 nationsH1471 and will neverH3808 againH5750 be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467.
