Ezekiel 37:11-24
11Then He saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, theseH428 bonesH6106 are the 1entireH3605 houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; beholdH2009, they sayH559, ‘Our 2bonesH6106 are driedH3001 upH3001 and our hopeH8615 has perishedH6. We are 3completely 4cutH1504 offH1504.’ 12ThereforeH3651 prophesyH5012 and sayH559 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to openH6605 your gravesH6913 and 5cause you to comeH5927 upH5927 out of your gravesH6913, My peopleH5971; and I will bringH935 you into the landH127 of IsraelH3478. 13Then you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068, when I have openedH6605 your gravesH6913 and caused you to comeH5927 upH5927 out of your gravesH6913, My peopleH5971. 14And I will 6putH5414 My 7SpiritH7307 within you and you will comeH2421 toH2421 lifeH2421, and I will placeH5117 you on your own landH127. Then you will knowH3045 that I, the LordH3068, have spokenH1696 and doneH6213 it,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.’”
15The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 again to me, sayingH559, 16“Now you, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 for yourself 8oneH259 stickH6086 and writeH3789 on it, ‘For 9JudahH3063 and for the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, his companionsH2270’; then takeH3947 anotherH259 stickH6086 and writeH3789 on it, ‘For 10JosephH3130, the stickH6086 of EphraimH669 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, his companionsH2270.’ 17Then 11putH7126 them togetherH7126 for yourself oneH259 to anotherH259 into oneH259 stickH6086, so that they may becomeH1961 oneH259 in your handH3027. 18And whenH3512 the sonsH1121 of your peopleH5971 speakH559 to you, sayingH559, ‘Will you not declareH5046 to us 12whatH4100 13you mean by theseH428?’ 19sayH1696 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 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. 21And sayH1696 to them, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to 14takeH3947 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 15oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776, on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and 16oneH259 kingH4428 will be kingH4428 for allH3605 of them; and they will noH3808 longerH5750 be twoH8147 nationsH1471, and noH3808 longerH5750 be dividedH2673 into twoH8147 kingdomsH4467. 23They will 17noH3808 longerH5750 defileH2930 themselves with their idolsH1544, or with their detestableH8251 thingsH8251, or with anyH3605 of their offensesH6588; but 18I will rescueH3467 them from allH3605 their 19dwellingH4186 placesH4186 in whichH834 they have sinnedH2398, and will cleanseH2891 them. And they will be My peopleH5971, and I will be their GodH430.
24“And My servantH5650 20DavidH1732 will be kingH4428 overH5921 them, and they will allH3605 haveH1961 21oneH259 shepherdH7462; and they will walkH1980 in My ordinancesH4941, and keepH8104 My statutesH2708 and 22followH6213 them.
