Ezekiel 37:1-14 (New American Standard)
View In My BibleVision of the Valley of Dry Bones
1 The 1hand of the LORD was upon me, and He 2brought me out aby the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the 3valley ; and it was full of bones. 2 He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley ; and lo, they were very dry. 3 He said to me, "Son of man, 4can these bones live ?" And I answered, "O Lord bGOD, 5You know." 4 Again He said to me, "6Prophesy over these bones and say to them, 'O dry bones, 7hear the word of the LORD.' 5 "Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones, 'Behold, I will cause c8breath to enter you that you may come to life. 6 'I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive ; and you will 9know that I am the LORD.' " 7 So I prophesied 10as I was commanded ; and as I prophesied, there was a dnoise, and behold, a rattling ; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. 9 Then He said to me, "Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Come from the four winds, O breath, and 11breathe on these slain, that they 12come to life.""' 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the 13breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an 14exceedingly great army.The Vision Explained
11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the 15whole house of Israel ; behold, they say, 'Our 16bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are ecompletely 17cut off.' 12 "Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will open your graves and 18cause you to come up out of your graves, My people ; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 "Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people. 14 "I will 19put My fSpirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it," declares the LORD.'
