Ezekiel 37:1-8

1The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by his Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.

2He led me all around them. There were a great many of them on the surface of the valley, and they were very dry.

3Then he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I replied, “Lord God, only you know.”

4He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!

5This is what the Lord God says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will live.

6I will put tendons on you, make flesh grow on you, and cover you with skin. I will put breath in you so that you come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.”

7So I prophesied as I had been commanded. While I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

8As I looked, tendons appeared on them, flesh grew, and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
