Ezekiel 37:1-10

1The 1hand of the Lord was upon me, and He 2brought me out 3by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the 4valley; and it was full of bones. 2He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and lo, they were very dry. 3He said to me, “Son of man, 5can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord 6God, 7You know.” 4Again He said to me, “8Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, 9hear the word of the Lord.’ 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones, ‘Behold, I will cause 1011breath to enter you that you may come to life. 6I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will 12know that I am the Lord.’”

7So I prophesied 13as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a 14noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Come from the four winds, O breath, and 15breathe on these slain, that they 16come to life.”’” 10So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the 17breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an 18exceedingly great army.
