Ezekiel 37:5-10

5This is what the Lord God says to these bones: ‘Behold, I am going to make 1 2breath enter you so that you may come to life. 6And I will 3attach tendons to you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you so that you may come to life; and you will 4know that I am the Lord.’”

7So I prophesied 5as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a loud noise, and behold, a 6rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8And I looked, and behold, tendons 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, ‘The Lord God says this: “Come from the four winds, breath, and 7breathe on these slain, so that they 8come to life.”’” 10So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the 9breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an 10exceedingly great army.
