Ezekiel 37:16-22
16“And you, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 for yourself 1oneH259 stickH6086 and writeH3789 on it, ‘For 2JudahH3063 and for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, his companionsH2270’; then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086 and writeH3789 on it, ‘For 3JosephH3130, the stickH6086 of EphraimH669 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, his companionsH2270.’
17Then 4joinH7126 them for yourself oneH259 to anotherH259 into oneH259 stickH6086, that they may becomeH1961 oneH259 in your handH3027.
18WhenH3512 the sonsH1121 of your peopleH5971 speakH559 to you sayingH559, ‘Will you not declareH5046 to us 5whatH4100 you mean by theseH428?’
19sayH1696 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will takeH3947 the stickH6086 of JosephH3130, whichH834 is in the handH3027 of EphraimH669, and the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, his companionsH2270; and I will putH5414 them with it, with the stickH6086 of JudahH3063, and makeH6213 them oneH259 stickH6086, and they will be oneH259 in My handH3027.”’
20The sticksH6086 on whichH834 you writeH3789 will be in your handH3027 before their eyesH5869.
21SayH1696 to them, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, I will 6takeH3947 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from amongH996 the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 they have goneH1980, and I will gatherH6908 them from everyH5439 sideH5439 and bringH935 them into their own landH127;
22and I will makeH6213 them 7oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776, on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and 8oneH259 kingH4428 will be kingH4428 for allH3605 of them; and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be twoH8147 nationsH1471 and noH3808 longerH5750 be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467.
