Ezekiel 37:15-28

15The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 again to me, sayingH559, 16“Now 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 4putH7126 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 5whatH4100 6you 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 7takeH3947 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 8oneH259 nationH1471 in the landH776, on the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478; and 9oneH259 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 10noH3808 longerH5750 defileH2930 themselves with their idolsH1544, or with their detestableH8251 thingsH8251, or with anyH3605 of their offensesH6588; but 11I will rescueH3467 them from allH3605 their 12dwellingH4186 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 13DavidH1732 will be kingH4428 overH5921 them, and they will allH3605 haveH1961 14oneH259 shepherdH7462; and they will walkH1980 in My ordinancesH4941, and keepH8104 My statutesH2708 and 15followH6213 them. 25And they will liveH3427 on the landH776 that I gaveH5414 to My servantH5650 JacobH3290, in whichH834 your fathersH1 livedH3427; and they will liveH3427 on it, they, and their sonsH1121 and their sons’H1121 sonsH1121, foreverH5704H5769; and My servantH5650 16DavidH1732 will be their leaderH5387 foreverH5769. 26And I will makeH3772 a 17covenantH1285 of peaceH7965 with them; it will be an 18everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with them. And I will 19placeH5414 them and 20multiplyH7235 them, and setH5414 My 21sanctuaryH4720 in their midstH8432 foreverH5769. 27My 22dwellingH4908 placeH4908 also will be amongH5921 them; and 23I will be their GodH430, and they will be My peopleH5971. 28And the nationsH1471 will knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 24who sanctifiesH6942 IsraelH3478, when My sanctuaryH4720 is in their midstH8432 foreverH5769.”’”
