THE hand of Yahuah was upon me, and carried me out in the Ruach Yahuah, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
And he said unto me, son of A'dam, can these bones live? And I answered, O Adonai Yahuah, you know.
Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the Word of Yahuah.
Thus says Adonai Yahuah unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Yahuah.
So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of A'dam, and say to the wind, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Then he said unto me, son of A'dam, these bones are the whole house of Yashar'el: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Yashar'el.
And ye shall know that I am Yahuah, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
And shall put my Ruach in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I Yahuah have spoken it, and performed it, says Yahuah.
The Word of Yahuah came again unto me, saying,
Moreover, son of A'dam, take you one stick, and write upon it, For Yahudah, and for the children of Yashar'el his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Yoceph, the stick of Ephrayim, and for all the house of Yashar'el his companions:
And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand.
And when the children of your people shall speak unto you, saying, Will you not show us what you mean by these?
Say unto them, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; Behold, I will take the stick of Yoceph, which is in the hand of Ephrayim, and the tribes of Yashar'el his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Yahudah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
And the sticks whereon you write shall be in your hand before their eyes.
And say unto them, Thus says Adonai Yahuah; Behold, I will take the children of Yashar'el from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Yashar'el; and one King shall be King to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms anymore at all:
Neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their Elohiym.
And David my Servant shall be King over them; and they all shall have one Shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and guard my statutes, and do them.
And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Ya`aqov my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children forever: and my Servant David shall be their Prince forever.
Moreover I will cut a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them forevermore.
My Tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their Elohiym, and they shall be my people.
And the heathen shall know that I Yahuah do sanctify Yashar'el, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore.
